“When in doubt, meditate on your belly button.”

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

The Progressive Republic of VuVuVaz is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Cody Camille Veronica Vu Marcy Broderick with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 10.944 billion VuVuVazians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eegatustees. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient VuVuVazian economy, worth a remarkable 2,594 trillion Wongas 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 Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 an amazing 237,048 Wongas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails, they who do not work shall not eat, the "good old days" of road traffic accidents and smog-filled cities are back, and the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. VuVuVaz's national animal is the Qwinty, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

VuVuVaz is ranked 2,916^th in the world and 132^nd in Balder for Highest Poor Incomes, with 193,281.88 Standard Monetary Units.
