The Republic of VichyFrance is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Howie Filon with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 14.172 billion French hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Administration, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient French economy, worth a remarkable 5,481 trillion Francs a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 386,802 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low, politicians have tenure, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, and everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen. Crime is almost non-existent. VichyFrance's national animal is the Gallic Rooster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

VichyFrance is ranked 28,025^th in the world and 1,388^th in Lazarus for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
