The Dominion of Vastrosta is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its burgeoning tiger population. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.615 billion Vastrostans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Vastrostan economy, worth 270 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,422 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vastrosta's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vastrosta is ranked 179,780^th in the world and 1^st in Troperia for Most Armed, with 0.24 Weapons Per Person.
