The United Socialist States of Vorzun And Karan is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 62 million Kerbals are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Vorzunian economy, worth 692 billion guilders 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 11,169 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, they who do not work shall not eat, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and news headlines suggest that Leader has a sideline in guinea pig pimping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vorzun And Karan's national animal is the Erk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vorzun And Karan is ranked 165,287^th in the world and 16^th in Kerbin for Most Patriotic, with 7.6 flags saluted per person per day.
