The Insanity of Vincent van Gogh is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Vincent Willem van Gogh with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 45.329 billion Vincent van Goghians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arles. The average income tax rate is 77.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Vincent van Goghian economy, worth a remarkable 8,579 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 189,263 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, Vincent van Goghians are fixin' ta comma any way they wanna, and crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vincent van Gogh's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.
Vincent van Gogh is ranked 346th in the world and 7th in Nederland for Largest Populations, with 45.3 billion capita.
