The Rogue Nation of VanthaDemon is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and compulsory vegetarianism. The cynical, devout population of 512 million Vanthalisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 44.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped VanthaDemonian economy, worth 16.7 trillion Vanns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 32,649 Vanns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, VanthaDemonian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, and people are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VanthaDemon's national animal is the Reptiles, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

VanthaDemon is ranked 139,139th in the world and 2,705th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 697.64 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
