The Holy Kingdom of Vektrana is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Deaćael Maerć Iilinuum with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.418 billion Vektranain are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aanauvuuael. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Vektranan economy, worth 460 trillion elns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 71,763 elns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job, aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators, folk are absolutely certain that you can never be absolutely certain, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vektrana's national animal is the bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Vektranan Séaiil.

Vektrana is ranked 331,811th in the world and 11th in Wishtonia for Smartest Citizens, with 1.51 quips per hour.
