The Republic of Vaeruio is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 7.373 billion Vaeruioans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Vaeruioan economy, worth 538 trillion Pesollis a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,040 Pesollis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, conspiracy theorists allege Vaeruio City's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaeruio's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vaeruio is ranked 171,553^rd in the world and 28^th in Hartfelden for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 84,589 Standard Monetary Units.
