The People's Republic of Vas Normandy is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Ron Pal with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 29.348 billion Vas Normandyians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krastanza. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vas Normandyian economy, worth a remarkable 6,137 trillion Belkas a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 209,132 Belkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', and cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vas Normandy's national animal is the Aigaion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The McKenna.

Vas Normandy is ranked 3,819^th in the world and 73^rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 10,776.33 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
