The Republic of Vraska is a huge, genial nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 212 million Vraskans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Education, and Public Transport also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 27.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Vraskan economy, worth 7.90 trillion Ducats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 37,269 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Teachers regularly paddle unruly students, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, and politicians are forced to wear portable lie detectors at all times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vraska's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Vraska is ranked 285,611th in the world and 240th in Valerian Reach for Smartest Citizens, with 19.24 quips per hour.
