The Central Vietnamese State of Orthodox Rebels is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Phạm Chánh Thi with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.885 billion Viets are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Da Nang. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vietnamese economy, worth a remarkable 1,235 trillion dong a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,741 dong, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tax assessment offices double as polling stations, it's never "just a game" with Vietnamese sports fans, adultery has been made a capital offence, and athletes and street criminals compete for solid steel baseball bats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orthodox Rebels's national animal is the water buffalo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Mahayana Buddhism.

Orthodox Rebels is ranked 24,787^th in the world and 11^th in Pecan Sandies for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 64,890.88 Standard Monetary Units.
