The Federation of VTML is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ieinu with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 11.895 billion VTMLians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Japari. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient VTMLian economy, worth a remarkable 1,795 trillion Sytquots 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 150,973 Sytquots, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A passport is literally priceless, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VTML's national animal is the Canis Lupus Familaris, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

VTML is ranked 76,842^nd in the world and 1,518^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 21.5 flags saluted per person per day.
