The Democratic States of Vulprecio is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Knavecrix with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.133 billion Vulprecians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zorrastria. The average income tax rate is 84.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vulprecian economy, worth 993 trillion Vulpes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,811 Vulpes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public parks are littered with cigarette butts, the price of freedom is about half a million Vulpes, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, and you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vulprecio's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vulprecio is ranked 258,319^th in the world and 12,198^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -158.28 on the Hayek Index.
