The Democratic Republic of Vashnal is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President Shajarian Arzhang with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 22.583 billion Iranians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tehran. The average income tax rate is 78.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Vashnalian economy, worth a remarkable 4,629 trillion tomars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 204,993 tomars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Compassion shrinks as tax rebates grow, children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care, and all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vashnal's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Twelver Shia Islam.

Vashnal is ranked 328,382^nd in the world and 42^nd in Geopolity for Nicest Citizens, with 0.21 average smiles per day.
