The Volcanic Crater of The Vastness is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the dual kingship of dwarves with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 30.969 billion Dwarves are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yalentu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Dwarmanic economy, worth a remarkable 2,709 trillion gemstones a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 87,498 gemstones, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 349,819 per year while the poor average 14,704, a ratio of 23.8 to 1.
Senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, adults have never outgrown their fear of monsters, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Vastness's national animal is the hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is primarily Yalentu.
The Vastness is ranked 128,612th in the world and 6th in Lodoss for Most Stationary, with 258.97029953668 days.
