The Confederacy of Vistedust is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 118 million Vistedustians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Vistedustian economy, worth 2.54 trillion baht 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. 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 21,548 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
It's often raining men (hallelujah) in Vistedust City, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, and elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vistedust's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Vistedust is ranked 172,623rd in the world and 19th in LingoLizard Language Jungle for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,024.04 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
