The Commonwealth of Vanbella is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Overlord Rex with an iron fist, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.905 billion Vanbellans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bellevue. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Vanbellan economy, worth a remarkable 1,666 trillion mallards a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 241,391 mallards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
It is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, Vanbellan companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation, and the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Vanbella's national animal is the mustang, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Asterandroism.
Vanbella is ranked 15,889th in the world and 890th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 99 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
