The Commonwealth Realm of Vendoland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Dan Igawa with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 25.106 billion Vendolandians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Randgriz. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Vendolandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,242 trillion Ven Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,332 Ven Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, notable individuals are granted land and titles, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vendoland's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vendoland is ranked 114,364th in the world and 3,811th in Lazarus for Most Armed, with 0.37 weapons per person.
