Location: The East Pacific

The Commonwealth of Ville is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate population of 181 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Religion & Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Members of majority races are forced out of their homes to make way for Bigtopians, the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, nude art is becoming wildly popular, and the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ville's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Lick.

Ville is ranked 2,107th in The East Pacific and 49,596th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 131 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
