The Vandal Kingdom of Vandalic Carthage is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Genseric with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.119 billion Vandals are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hippo Regius. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Vandalic economy, worth a remarkable 4,811 trillion Talents a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 432,754 Talents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Monarchs only get custody of the royal crown on holidays and weekends, acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, and politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vandalic Carthage's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Arianism.

Vandalic Carthage is ranked 277,596th in the world and 28th in Greater Brutesia for Safest, scoring 6.01 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
