Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis
The Kingdom of Vysetopia is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 355 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture.
Politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, smoking is banned in public areas, and parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem. Vysetopia's national animal is the flying puppy, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Boob.
