The Dominion of Van der Spuy is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning leopard population. The hard-working population of 1.694 billion Van der Spuyians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 12.0%.
The Van der Spuyian economy, worth 87.6 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 51,734 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Van der Spuy's national animal is the leopard.
