The Democratic States of VuVuVaz is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 446 million VuVuVazians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped VuVuVazian economy, worth 11.2 trillion Wongas a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,139 Wongas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex changes are routinely performed at VuVuVaz's hospitals, the nation's war memorials are being torn down and replaced with peace gardens, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", and lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VuVuVaz's national animal is the Qwinty, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

VuVuVaz is ranked 228,422^nd in the world and 1,037^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 29,301 Standard Monetary Units.
