The Community of Vulcan Acenedcy is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 364 million Vulcan Acenedcyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vulcnation. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Vulcan Acenedcyian economy, worth 19.8 trillion Vacan notes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,419 Vacan notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Eckie-Ecola and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vulcan Acenedcy's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Vulcan Acenedcy is ranked 59,982^nd in the world and 1,301^st in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,664.45 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
