The Empire of Vufloria is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 628 million Vuflorians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.7%.
The Vuflorian economy, worth 36.3 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,806 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
Doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, vital infrastructure development is on hold because of 'nature and stuff', 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Vufloria's radio stations, and Vufloria has designated Vufloria City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vufloria's national animal is the goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Vufloria is ranked 255,207th in the world and 261st in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Conservative, scoring 37.82 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
