The Republic of Van Dyksbaai is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning fox population. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.872 billion Van Dyksbaaians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The very strong Van Dyksbaaian economy, worth 264 trillion florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 68,274 florins, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Van Dyksbaai's national animal is the fox.

Van Dyksbaai is ranked 208,306^th in the world and 8,212^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 34.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
