The Confederacy of Gardenias Vigor is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 4.104 billion Gardenias Vigorians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Gardenias Vigorian economy, worth 202 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,356 Delta Eagles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military barracks resemble five-star hotels, farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, and APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Gardenias Vigor's national animal is the Kitsune.

Gardenias Vigor is ranked 259,963^rd in the world and 9^th in Aomori for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
