The Kingdom of Vonstania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Albert I with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 2.476 billion Vonstanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vonstalva. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vonstanian economy, worth 458 trillion crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 184,927 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, frustrated women are overjoyed at the provision of communal washing machines, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, and glamping Vonstanians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vonstania's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Vonstania is ranked 6,912^th in the world and 27^th in Fifth Empire for Highest Poor Incomes, with 147,308.25 Standard Monetary Units.
