The Utterly Intentional Union of Vacatio Libertas is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by El Capitan Vacatio with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.97 billion Jack Wagons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Donkey Kong. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a Jack Wagon economy, worth 860 trillion beefs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,956 beefs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, the Donkey Kong XV Regiment (aka "The Goat Starers") have yet to win a battle, the thought of funding space programs drives El Capitan Vacatio crazy, and the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments. Crime is totally unknown. Vacatio Libertas's national animal is the trabant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is SAMO.

Vacatio Libertas is ranked 19,349^th in the world and 1^st in Archmont for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,938.7 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
