The Meritocracy of Vrolondia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Arano Iandra with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.181 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ismair. The average income tax rate is 84%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers, citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vrolondia's national animal is the Chocobo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Vrolondian Pantheon, and its currency is the Elysium.

Vrolondia is ranked 147th in Yggdrasil and 124,848th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring -6 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
