The Golden Retriever Republic of Vilverin is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dr Woofingtons III with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.034 billion cute dogs are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chin Scritch City. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient cute economy, worth a remarkable 1,869 trillion head pats a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,375 head pats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leading ethologists are being investigated for illegal electoral interference, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vilverin's national animal is the leaves in the local park, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vilverin is ranked 6,107^th in the world and 10^th in Karma for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 13,592.67 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
