The Holy Purple Empire of Vhearun is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Vhearun with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cheerful population of 23.876 billion Vhearunites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erynlyn. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Vhearunian economy, worth 168 trillion delats 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. 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 7,065 delats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Vhearunites, the Fashion Channel can only be viewed on widescreen TVs, and books are so highly regarded in Vhearun that libraries are often revered as holy shrines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vhearun's national animal is the tizzin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Obsul Ssussun.

Vhearun is ranked 8,470th in the world and 89th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 35.33 average smiles per day.
