The Republic of Vichy Sieckistan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.128 billion Vichy Sieckistanians 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 large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Vichy Sieckistanian economy, worth 131 trillion regions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 21,397 regions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending recently hit a new high, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vichy Sieckistan's national animal is the black hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vichy Sieckistan is ranked 158,280^th in the world and 3,312^th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 495.2 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
