Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Stellaristocratic Nation of ReVaQ is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Majesté Revée Voixaer Q'uruêus with a fair hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.464 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Welfare and the Environment are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of L'Astraeus. The average income tax rate is 85%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime is totally unknown. ReVaQ's national animal is the Osprey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Vaq.

ReVaQ is ranked 1,555th in 10000 Islands and 90,925th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 13 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
