The United International Empire of Vonum is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Connor Hazell with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.281 billion Vonians 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 Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maddeloffu. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vonian economy, worth 336 trillion Poloniums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 147,525 Poloniums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fearful citizens watch their every move as does their government, teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, and for 25 Poloniums tourists can gawk at the site of national tragedy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vonum's national animal is the Viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vonia Listantra.

Vonum is ranked 14,272^nd in the world and 1^st in Eclipsed World for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
