The Central Vietnamese State of Orthodox Rebels is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Phạm Chánh Thi with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.94 billion Viets are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Da Nang. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vietnamese economy, worth a remarkable 1,252 trillion dong a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,780 dong, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The cancellation of "The Real Vixens of Da Nang" has been described as a real blow for entertainment, slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms, cars are banned, and sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orthodox Rebels's national animal is the water buffalo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Mahayana Buddhism.

Orthodox Rebels is ranked 14,600^th in the world and 34^th in Pecan Sandies for Most Corrupt Governments, with 123.87 kickbacks per hour.
