Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Retired MT Army Leader of Vippertooth33 is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 16.916 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Commerce and Public Transport receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 50%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Woodchip Exports.

The poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, and Max Barry is this year's Miss Vippertooth33. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vippertooth33's national animal is the Vipertooth Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Cita.

Vippertooth33 is ranked 10th in Antifa and 78,801st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -17 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
