The United Clans of The Vajjh is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Astrecka Feren I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, feral children, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.174 billion Vajjh'en are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asteria's Bastion. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Vajjh'en economy, worth 340 trillion Gems a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 81,525 Gems, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, treason is relative, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, and citizens are encouraged to show displeasure with politicians by poking them with sharp metal sticks. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Vajjh's national animal is the Tajh, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Vajjh is ranked 295,965^th in the world and 553^rd in Starlight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.53 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
