The Concordat of New Vandenburg is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Charles Tharn with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.877 billion New Vandenburgers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Locke. The average income tax rate is 15.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong New Vandenburger economy, worth 525 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 66,686 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, skateparks can be found in every city, education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, and the typical murderer weighs 150kg and has hairy arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Vandenburg's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is deism.

New Vandenburg is ranked 94,815th in the world and 1st in Confederate Army for Most Stationary, with 480.27738012228 days.
