The Supreme Baker of Vaksi is a huge, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and infamous sell-swords. The hard-working, democratic population of 561 million Vaksins are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, with Welfare and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The thriving Vaksian economy, worth 36.7 trillion Donut Holes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 65,469 Donut Holes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 189,606 per year while the poor average 17,914, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, the nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Vaksi's national animal is the Everstand, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vaksi is ranked 156,678th in the world and 4,018th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,168.95 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
