The Happy Sith Empire of Vader Knows Best 11 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 18.185 billion Vader Knows Best 11ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Vader Knows Best 11ian economy, worth 381 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 20,992 Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vader Knows Best 11's national animal is the Cheshire Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vader Knows Best 11 is ranked 14,972nd in the world and 5th in Hippiedom for Most Stationary, with 1,780.961881017 days.
