The Industrial Worker's State of Vlenkenov is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Dmitri Semenov with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 12.458 billion Vlenktsi hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ochiyev City. The average income tax rate is 4.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vlenskoy economy, worth a remarkable 1,430 trillion Vlenkl's 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. 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 an impressive 114,854 Vlenkl's, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's countrysides are littered with landmines due to ongoing family disputes, schoolchildren are divided over President Dmitri Semenov's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, justice is blinding, and children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vlenkenov's national animal is the Quahog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vlenkenov is ranked 96,330^th in the world and 1,626^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,658.17 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
