The Confederacy of Vanzhith is a mid-sized, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 80 million Vanzhithians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 18.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Vanzhithian economy, worth 4.21 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,650 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vanzhith's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vanzhith is ranked 85,333^rd in the world and 14^th in Divorced Nations of Earth for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,526.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
