The 🌪️cataclysmic catastrophe❄️ of Vando0sa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Nehelenia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 21.9 billion youkai 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 large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serico. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient youkai economy, worth an astonishing 19,781 trillion ceks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 903,257 ceks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, every week is blindness awareness week, the lasting legacy of the current generation is a million years of buried radioactivity, and napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vando0sa's national animal is the faerie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Apotheosis of Raideron.

Vando0sa is ranked 152,862nd in the world and 126th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Stationary, with 149.83050827508 days.
