The Great Forest of Vandoosa Sechsundzwanzig is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sophia Vokshava with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 21.116 billion Sophias are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warner. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vandoosa Sechsundzwanzigian economy, worth a remarkable 1,946 trillion ceks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 92,195 ceks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Package deals offer tourists the chance to visit the frozen remains of the previous tour group, billions of ceks are being blown on orbital weapons development, terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums, and the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vandoosa Sechsundzwanzig's national animal is the Faerie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Shvonkism.

Vandoosa Sechsundzwanzig is ranked 56,070^th in the world and 45^th in Jenny for Most Corrupt Governments, with 32.95 kickbacks per hour.
