The Baltic Republic of Vaikneland is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Erik Rőikas with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 7.501 billion Vaiknels 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 minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tallinn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Vaiknelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,208 trillion Kroons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 161,128 Kroons, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, and the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vaikneland's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Vaikneland is ranked 103,630th in the world and 3,958th in Balder for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 60 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
