The Evil Empire of Vader Knows Best 16 is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 13.957 billion Vader Knows Best 16ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Vader Knows Best 16ian economy, worth 273 trillion Poll Votes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 19,573 Poll Votes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vader Knows Best 16's national animal is the Cheshire Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vader Knows Best 16 is ranked 82,325th in the world and 2nd in The Iceberg Lounge for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
