The Community of Vorwaerts is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 676 million Vorwaertsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vorwaertsian economy, worth 87.2 trillion MMTS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 128,996 MMTS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisons in Vorwaerts are the summer homes of murderers, they say that Leader's personal computer is full of naked pictures of the Emperor of Maxtopia, a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, and pocket dialling is a criminal offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vorwaerts's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vorwaerts is ranked 11,527^th in the world and 4^th in Lonia Kreptia Llor for Most Cultured, scoring 108 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
