The República of Vilaforta is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Uriel Hidalgo Gay with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.711 billion Vilafortíns 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 medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uricity. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vilafortí economy, worth a remarkable 1,295 trillion Pellofas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 193,027 Pellofas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Movie references are legally admissible in court, moonshine has made a resurgence, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, and Uricity consists only of government buildings and the mansions of government janitors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vilaforta's national animal is the Gall fer comú, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cap.

Vilaforta is ranked 306,570^th in the world and 4,632^nd in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 2.49 Obesity Rate.
