The Stratego Nation of Vaandel is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Vaandrig with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 25.333 billion Vaandelians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaandel City. The average income tax rate is 46.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Vaandelian economy, worth a remarkable 2,111 trillion Strategoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 83,336 Strategoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Many newspapers agree that the government's ban on cars to combat reckless driving was "a tad excessive", Vaandrig is worshipped as a god, governments opposing Vaandel are beset by rebels, and the government is flooded with compensation requests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaandel's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Militarism.

Vaandel is ranked 1,673rd in the world and 61st in Vlaanderen for Most Stationary, with 4,217.705634 days.
