The Republic of Vanere is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.901 billion Vanereans 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The very strong Vanerean economy, worth 407 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. Average income is 51,623 guilders, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 210,844 per year while the poor average 8,372, a ratio of 25.2 to 1.

Internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, a major religion has been named as Vanere's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Vanere in an international press conference, and Vanere has designated Vanere City as its capital city. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vanere's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vanere is ranked 262,206^th in the world and 5,349^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 8,372.82 Standard Monetary Units.
