The State of Vai is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 11.669 billion Vaians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 17.5%.

The strong Vaian economy, worth 538 trillion betales a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 46,121 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, military funding has been stripped back, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Vai has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate. Vai's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vai is ranked 182,984^th in the world and 1^st in the Republic of Syria for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 577.3 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
