The Progressive Republic of Vancouver Island is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Brooklyn Taylor with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.945 billion Vancouver Islanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Victoria. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vancouver Islandian economy, worth 546 trillion Islander Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,476 Islander Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, and the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vancouver Island's national animal is the Vancouver Island Marmot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vancouver Island is ranked 103,866^th in the world and 140^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Populations, with 4.95 billion capita.
