The Dictatorship of Vincente Pinzon is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Ferdinand II with an even hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 19.421 billion Vincente Pinzonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barcelona. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vincente Pinzonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,519 trillion Bronze talons a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 129,744 Bronze talons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, corporations make thousands by intentionally losing billions, pop stars who make it big overseas are hailed as economic heroes, and journalists listen to the money talk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vincente Pinzon's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholic.

Vincente Pinzon is ranked 318,693^rd in the world and 266^th in Forest for Nicest Citizens, with 0.44 average smiles per day.
