The United Socialist States of Vietlao is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by National Assembly of Vietlao with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.212 billion Vietlaoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vienha. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vietlaoan economy, worth 319 trillion dong a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,328 dong, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tax avoidance is a serious affair, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, statues of famous citizens are erected or demolished on a purely partisan basis, and National Assembly of Vietlao steals from the rich and gives to the needy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vietlao's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vietlao is ranked 280,674^th in the world and 1,029^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Armed, with 0.15 weapons per person.
