The Dreamers of Visionary Union is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Hawke with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.225 billion Visionary Dreamers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skyhold. The average income tax rate is 25.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Visionary Dreamer economy, worth a remarkable 3,675 trillion Silver Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 300,645 Silver Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

They say that Visionary Dreamers made a dessert and called it peace, drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, and the Visionary Dreamer Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances. Crime is totally unknown. Visionary Union's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Critical Thinking.

Visionary Union is ranked 18,896th in the world and 498th in the Rejected Realms for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,354.41 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
