The Imperial Union of Vandermeer is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Fenrir Simonides with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.878 billion Vandermeerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soulvin. The average income tax rate is 84.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Vandermeerian economy, worth 591 trillion Soulvninits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 121,212 Soulvninits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas", real power lies not in the debating room but with those who decide what is debated, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vandermeer's national animal is the Enfield, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kin of Soulvnameer.
Vandermeer is ranked 74,467th in the world and 44th in Refugia for Most Stationary, with 633.9130665176 days.
