The Theocracy of Vaire is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 8.929 billion Vaireans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 33.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Vairean economy, worth 696 trillion Threads 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 Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. 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 77,932 Threads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, a positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa, and the Vairean Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaire's national animal is the Weave, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vaire is ranked 86,648th in the world and 2nd in Valandor for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,135.73 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
