The Republic of Vaihle is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.517 billion Vaihleans 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Vaihlean economy, worth 91.8 trillion Neris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 60,518 Neris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, and "Leader got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom. Crime is totally unknown. Vaihle's national animal is the Box Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Vaihle is ranked 255,131st in the world and 4th in The Sea of Light for Most Conservative, scoring 28.5 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
