The Lone Wolf of Vandoosa is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sergeant Major Lilly Zaiveria with an iron fist, and renowned for its vat-grown people, parental licensing program, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.133 billion Youkai are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serico. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Youkai economy, worth a remarkable 5,575 trillion Ceks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 685,522 Ceks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, the latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone, and the song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in Vandoosa' is a smash hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vandoosa's national animal is the Faerie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Shvonkism.

Vandoosa is ranked 1,200^th in the world and 1^st in Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 946.21 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
