The Woodhouse Sanctum of VCP Patrol is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, national health service, and public floggings. The cynical, devout population of 24.987 billion VCP Patrolians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 45.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient VCP Patrolian economy, worth a remarkable 1,937 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,527 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

All government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region, and the moon's craters are more numerous every day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VCP Patrol's national animal is the ^-^, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

VCP Patrol is ranked 86,839th in the world and 1st in The Islamic Republic of Iran for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
