The Free Land of Vantas is a small, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 32 million Vantasians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Vantasian economy, worth 879 billion Peruvian phalluses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is 27,481 Peruvian phalluses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extreme political groups are outlawed, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, woodland critters flock to the safety of unfamiliar humans wearing lab-coats, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vantas's national animal is the crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Vantas is ranked 91,441^st in the world and 1,379^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,030.59 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
