The Republic of Vantser is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Diana Mostafersen with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.401 billion Vantserians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asterhagen. The average income tax rate is 64.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vantserian economy, worth 157 trillion Kronor a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,194 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

There's no representation without taxation, people invite random old men into their homes to play with their kids, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Vantser, and in this vegetarian nation the delicious smell of roasted meat is oddly commonplace. Crime is totally unknown. Vantser's national animal is the Canary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vantser is ranked 177,566^th in the world and 171^st in Forest for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 57.25 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
