The Armed Republic of Vahil Pahu is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The quiet, industrious population of 181 million Vahil Pahuans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 24.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vahil Pahuan economy, worth 13.8 trillion Tams a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,201 Tams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Personal injury lawyers are demanding compensation from the government after recent reductions in manufacturer liability, private law firms are unheard of, concerned environmentalists wipe away their tears with tissues sourced from Tasmanian old-growth redwoods, and courtrooms can be a little sketchy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vahil Pahu's national animal is the Snow Leoliguar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vahil Pahu is ranked 83,065^th in the world and 13^th in The Galactics Union for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 4,326.73 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
