The República of Vientina is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Hans Woodsen with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.554 billion Vientinans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astória. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vientinan economy, worth a remarkable 1,114 trillion Renzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 244,710 Renzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vientina's national animal is the Angora Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vientina is ranked 2,820^th in the world and 56^th in Europe for Nicest Citizens, with 62.74 average smiles per day.
