The Corporate Communist State of Vandoosa is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Lilly Zaiveria with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, unlimited-speed roads, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.051 billion Youkai are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serico. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Youkai economy, worth a remarkable 8,949 trillion Ceks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 685,725 Ceks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

It's all white elephants on parade, the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and every manufactory has a pharmacy built in. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vandoosa's national animal is the Faerie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Shvonkism.

Vandoosa is ranked 320^th in the world and 10^th in the Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 14,202 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
