The Obnoxious Ice Faeries of Vandoosa Zwolf is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by that blue faerie girl right there with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.346 billion ice faeries are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warner. The average income tax rate is 73.9%.

The powerhouse Vandoosa Zwolfian economy, worth a remarkable 2,540 trillion Ceks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 119,016 Ceks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, Vandoosa Zwolf's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vandoosa Zwolf's national animal is the Faerie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Icy flutters.

Vandoosa Zwolf is ranked 234,958th in the world and 134th in Jenny for Most Primitive, scoring -115.55 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
