Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Emirate of Vultu is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 23.356 billion Vultuans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Welfare, with Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Vultuan economy, worth 364 trillion Dimes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 15,587 Dimes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vultu's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vultu is ranked 202,530^th in the world and 3,763^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring zero on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
