The Proletarian Soviet Republic of Vulga is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Bordiga with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.87 billion Vulgans 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, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volgograd. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Vulgan economy, worth a remarkable 2,897 trillion Vuls 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 and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 293,521 Vuls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Selfie stick use is a required Scout badge, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, and suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks. Crime is totally unknown. Vulga's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vulga is ranked 430^th in the world and 8^th in The Communist Bloc for Smartest Citizens, with 300.92 quips per hour.
