The Republic of Vualbealnnpaaibealnn is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 490 million Vualbealnnpaaibealnnians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Vualbealnnpaaibealnnian economy, worth 25.9 trillion Uʹrvvlõstts 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 large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. 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 52,889 Uʹrvvlõstts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, loss of the ability to speak is a common affliction of the elderly, Mona Lola's famous mysterious smile is being altered to resemble Leader's enigmatic grin, and Bambi has been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Vualbealnnpaaibealnn's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vualbealnnpaaibealnn is ranked 8,662nd in the world and 2nd in Luadastmaa Puppet Region for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 7,385.04 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
