The Republic of Vurk is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Director Nikishai Strix with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The compassionate population of 1.891 billion Vurks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kinigin. The average income tax rate is 94.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vurkian economy, worth 316 trillion VCRS a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,616 VCRS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tobacco industry has burnt out, private digital records now come with a convenient "download" button, metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, and citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Vurk at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vurk's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is forgotten.

Vurk is ranked 16,880th in the world and 388th in Europe for Nicest Citizens, with 24.52 average smiles per day.
