The Rogue Nation of Vjoms is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, avowedly heterosexual populace, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 698 million Vjomsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qrlomh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.9%.

The all-consuming Vjomsian economy, worth 94.2 trillion pesbas 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, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 134,957 pesbas, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, clergy do their best to cover up their old tattoos, and the blood on the hands of Leader may not be metaphorical. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vjoms's national animal is the armadillo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vjoms is ranked 12,809th in the world and 110th in the West Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,466.26 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
