The Dominion of Vlazovia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.033 billion Vlazovians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Vlazovian economy, worth 304 trillion ouroes 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 21,709 ouroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, the nation's new monarch embarrasses himself during state visits, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Vlazovia City. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vlazovia's national animal is the papagali, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vlazovia is ranked 233,705^th in the world and 1^st in Uruguay for Nicest Citizens, with 4 average smiles per day.
