Voyless

The Empire of Voyless is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 620 million Voylessians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 28.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Voylessian economy, worth 71.7 trillion rupeeses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,628 rupeeses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Charity fundraisers often resemble minstrel shows, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, the Super-Spud Cinematic Universe is breaking box office records, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Voyless's national animal is the Manticore, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Voyless is ranked 127,972nd in the world and 110th in Federation of Martian Colonies for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 2,461.18 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
