The República of Vilaforta is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Uriel Hidalgo Gay with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.841 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 Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uricity. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vilafortí economy, worth a remarkable 1,323 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. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 193,449 Pellofas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, murderers are immune to arrest while attending their victims' funerals, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, and there's more hugging than talking in most talk shows. 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cap.

Vilaforta is ranked 7,427^th in the world and 263^rd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 92.67 Effective Tax Rate.
