The Kingdom of Vandresia is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 823 million Vandresians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Agape. The average income tax rate is 38.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Vandresian economy, worth 43.1 trillion Vales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is 52,324 Vales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, and twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vandresia's national animal is the Werewolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vandresia is ranked 17,492^nd in the world and 131^st in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,838.25 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
