The Federal Democratic Republic of Vancovaria is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by YK Milton with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, parental licensing program, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.057 billion Vancovarians 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vancopolis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Vancovarian economy, worth an astonishing 13,760 trillion vaneroes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 457,824 vaneroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Vancovarian Space Agency, people are bored of easy crossword puzzles, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, and The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries. Crime is totally unknown. Vancovaria's national animal is the blue whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Vancovaria is ranked 860^th in the world and 2^nd in The Social Liberal Union for Highest Average Incomes, with 457,824.62 Standard Monetary Units.
