The Supreme Duchy of Vinq is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, enforced nudity, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 23.367 billion Vinqians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 61.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Vinqian economy, worth 729 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 31,215 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Voting is voluntary, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vinq's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Vinq is ranked 109,668th in the world and 2nd in Korel for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
