The 🌪️cataclysmic catastrophe❄️ of Vando0sa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Nehelenia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 23.375 billion youkai 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 government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serico. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient youkai economy, worth an astonishing 21,398 trillion ceks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 915,428 ceks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government has declared that too much democracy gets in the way of sensible leadership, the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish, the central government is trying to keep things flowing, and a breakdown in Westphalian sovereignty has left political scientists dazed and confused. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vando0sa's national animal is the faerie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Apotheosis of Raideron.
Vando0sa is ranked 191,487th in the world and 124th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 698.91 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
