The Illustrious Kingdom of Vancricia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Aesanro Valer with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 2.644 billion Vancricians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astervieid. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vancrician economy, worth 341 trillion ⋁ectras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,097 ⋁ectras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, the tenet of free speech is held dear, motorbike jousters live young and die fast, and citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vancricia's national animal is the Zrverio Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vancricia is ranked 111,706^th in the world and 3,157^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 78.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
