The Republic of Vandurg is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The democratic population of 247 million Vandurgians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Vandurgian economy, worth 10.9 trillion VSDS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,060 VSDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Leader's wardrobe, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vandurg's national animal is the white tail deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Vandurg is ranked 179,323rd in the world and 10th in Foxlandia Europa for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 28.52 Effective Tax Rate.
