The Republic of Vunania is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory vegetarianism, and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 107 million Vunanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The strong Vunanian economy, worth 5.66 trillion Vans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,877 Vans, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 174,505 per year while the poor average 11,988, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Foreign livestock are offered asylum, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, illegal hunting is rife after veganism was recently made compulsory, and anti-riot police are dispatched whenever two elderly ladies gather to complain that prices have increased. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vunania's national animal is the horse.

Vunania is ranked 74,138^th in the world and 1,468^th in The East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 48,805.58 Standard Monetary Units.
