The Principality of Vanessa is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 15.032 billion Vanessans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.2%.

The Vanessan economy, worth 644 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 42,865 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, divorce is illegal, and extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vanessa's national animal is the Dog.

Vanessa is ranked 226,978^th in the world and 156^th in Jenny for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.2 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
