The People's Republic of Vas Normandy is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Ron Pal with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 27.989 billion Vas Normandyians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krastanza. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vas Normandyian economy, worth a remarkable 5,936 trillion Belkas a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 212,113 Belkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', and cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vas Normandy's national animal is the Aigaion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The McKenna.

Vas Normandy is ranked 60,063rd in the world and 1,532nd in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
