The Republic of Vlooi is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.988 billion Vlooians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The thriving Vlooian economy, worth 192 trillion baht a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 64,271 baht, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 227,499 per year while the poor average 13,110, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vlooi's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Vlooi is ranked 43,116^th in the world and 1,585^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,271.19 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
