Vitaaborg update

UN Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Strong
Political Freedoms: Very Good

The Federation of Vitaaborg is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning Droid population. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 149 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 35%. A substantial private sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, followed by Gambling and Information Technology.

The Vitaaborg Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, voting has become a nightmare since everyone keeps selecting "None of the above", and abortions are routinely performed in Vitaaborg's hospitals. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vitaaborg's national animal is the Droid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Virtual Borg.

Vitaaborg is ranked 152nd in the region and 56,797th in the world for Most Comprehensive Public Healthcare.
