The People's Republic of Vltava Rivers is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Karel Pavel Kolovský with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 955 million Vltavians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ústí nad Vltavou. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Vltavian economy, worth 77.0 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,623 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", and children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vltava Rivers's national animal is the Snow lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vltava Rivers is ranked 208,591^st in the world and 50^th in Iris for Largest Populations, with 955 million capita.
