The Dragonland of Vanyo is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Draco with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 24.645 billion Vanyoans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Public Transport, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Draco. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Vanyoan economy, worth 492 trillion Pesos a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,994 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway, Draco has just been declared ruler of Vanyo in an international press conference, and Vanyo has designated Draco as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vanyo's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Dracoism.

Vanyo is ranked 265,959th in the world and 7th in Deezer Sea for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 10,957.09 Standard Monetary Units.
