The Republic of Vuongquoc is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.234 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Social Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Retail industries.

The undead roam the streets and countryside at night (Vuongquoc has found 1 easter eggs), the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vuongquoc's national animal is the saola, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is the Church of Music, and its currency is the dong.

Vuongquoc is ranked 5th in Lucerna and 5,256th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 36 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
