The United States of Vantualand is a mid-sized, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The democratic population of 91 million Vantualanders love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Vantu economy, worth 3.42 trillion Vantu Pesos a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,571 Vantu Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, nudity is frowned upon, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, and religious households enthusiastically use whips in private. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vantualand's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vantualand is ranked 280,624^th in the world and 3,175^th in The East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 21,603.76 Standard Monetary Units.
