The Province of Canadian Vermont is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 2.493 billion are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The large, moralistic government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 27%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery industries.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, the police force is on a recruitment drive, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Canadian Vermont's national animal is the moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the leaf.

Canadian Vermont is ranked 81st in South Figaro and 51,089th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
