The Distressed Generation X of VW53Aland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by VW53a with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 12.509 billion VW53Alandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sciroccoville. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient VW53Alandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,413 trillion Dinky Toys a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,962 Dinky Toys, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing numbers of children in VW53Aland have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VW53Aland's national animal is the cat-dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Holy wholly.

VW53Aland is ranked 10,103rd in the world and 238th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 118 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
