The Incomprehensible Catastrophe of The Ankhalic Vaspriot is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prince of Rhodoline with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.777 billion Vaspriots enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhodoline. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Vaspriot economy, worth a remarkable 1,927 trillion Courjitziens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 197,114 Courjitziens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rhodoline's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, cat memes without alt text are now illegal, and knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ankhalic Vaspriot's national animal is the House Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orifism.

The Ankhalic Vaspriot is ranked 305,569th in the world and 24th in Aessui for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
