The Queen's State of Vagr is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 22.615 billion Vagrians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 64.7%.

The large but inefficient Vagrian economy, worth 955 trillion betales 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Trout Farming. 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 42,262 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, and Vagr has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vagr's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vagr is ranked 246,659th in the world and 1st in Stornoway for Nicest Citizens, with 9.76 average smiles per day.
