The Free Lands of Vancouvia is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 26.1 billion Vancouvians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vesuvius. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Vancouvian economy, worth a remarkable 5,720 trillion coves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 219,157 coves, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vancouvia's national animal is the wild cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vancouvia is ranked 866^th in the world and 5^th in The Western Isles for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 16,492.65 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
