The Dominion of Vraene is a huge, genial nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 206 million Vraenes 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Vraenean economy, worth 15.0 trillion Aylns a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,925 Aylns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Vraene City Eagles against long odds, and people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vraene's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Vraene is ranked 307,074^th in the world and 5^th in Aernen for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -12.41 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
