The Commonwealth of Vortissa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Richard I with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.064 billion Vortesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Monarchie. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Vortissan economy, worth a remarkable 1,712 trillion Sovereigns a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,957 Sovereigns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
Private law firms are unheard of, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, and creating dance remixes is the newest form of conspicuous consumption. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vortissa's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Vortissa is ranked 117,519th in the world and 14th in United Fascist Workers Association for Most Stationary, with 312.34041121312 days.
