The Greater Empire of Vakutu is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Jukaga nar Kira with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 47.122 billion Vakutuans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varu. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Vakutuan economy, worth an astonishing 10,252 trillion kiras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 217,569 kiras, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 783,954 per year while the poor average 43,177, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

Scientists on maritime expeditions return with a healthy glow, chocolate in Vakutu has its flavour enhanced by the salty tears of enslaved factory workers, soldiers are "encouraged" to advance by armed officers behind them, and frequent flyers are chiseled into statues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Vakutu's national animal is the rugalga, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Most High Cult of Sivar.

Vakutu is ranked 682nd in the world and 3rd in Raumreich Oversector for Largest Populations, with 47.1 billion capita.
