The NSSports No-Hopers of Vdara is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Charalambos Romanatos with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 17.85 billion Vdarans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chania. The average income tax rate is 56.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vdaran economy, worth a remarkable 1,252 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 70,143 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, saying "don't do anything that Charalambos Romanatos wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Chania, and excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vdara's national animal is the bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secular.

Vdara is ranked 273,811^th in the world and 40^th in Anaia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.59 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
