The República of Vilaforta is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Uriel Hidalgo Gay with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.814 billion Vilafortíns are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uricity. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vilafortí economy, worth a remarkable 1,313 trillion Pellofas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 192,702 Pellofas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner, you can't ask the government "you and whose army?" when they declare they're going to rob you, Vilafortíns ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, and sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vilaforta's national animal is the Gall fer comú, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cap.

Vilaforta is ranked 257,621^st in the world and 2,000^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 144 billion Standard Monetary Units.
