The Republic of Vurk is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Director with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, humorless population of 5.524 billion Vurks are prohibited from doing almost everything but make sure no one in government gets away with anything either.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kinigin. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Vurkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,459 trillion VCRS 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 264,204 VCRS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bambi has been banned, judicial torture is outsourced overseas, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and kindergartners love the free balloons that their schools give them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vurk's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is forgotten.

Vurk is ranked 95,939th in the world and 280th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,361.64 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
