The National Republic of Vakhgala is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Andrei Karlovski with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 3.525 billion Vakhgalans 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 large government prioritizes Education, although Law & Order, Public Transport, and Environment are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karlovac. The average income tax rate is 52.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Vakhgalan economy, worth 145 trillion Vakhgalan Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,161 Vakhgalan Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Eastern Orthodoxy has been named as Vakhgala's national religion, the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vakhgala's national animal is the donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Vakhgala is ranked 158,598^th in the world and 291^st in Christians for Most Developed, scoring 54.94 on the Human Development Index.
