The New Republic of Vademia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Keyotas II with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, fear of technology, and public floggings. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.777 billion Vademians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reyvadin. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vademian economy, worth 162 trillion Rens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,679 Rens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, large-girthed charity workers assign themselves healthy wages for their work with starving children, euthanasia is legal, and repurposed warships fire swag at company promotional events. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Vademia's national animal is the Weasel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Vademia is ranked 318,244^th in the world and 453^rd in Bozarkia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -112.43 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
