The Constitutional Monarchy of Vatan is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 124 million Vatanians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 17.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Vatanian economy, worth 5.28 trillion Intis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,574 Intis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Swarms of present-laden delivery drones blot out the sun before major holidays, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and the nation is wading into dangerous waters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Vatan's national animal is the Eastern owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Vatan is ranked 203,150^th in the world and 94^th in The Free Nations Region for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 2.42 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
