The Community of Vana is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.128 billion Vanans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.1%.

The very strong Vanan economy, worth 196 trillion Flowers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 47,628 Flowers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 179,008 per year while the poor average 8,846, a ratio of 20.2 to 1.

Drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders, and Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vana's national animal is the Songbird.

Vana is ranked 279,694th in the world and 30th in Valandor for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -3.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
