The 🌪️cataclysmic catastrophe❄️ of Vando0sa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sergeant Major Sabinka with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 26.912 billion youkai have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serico. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient youkai economy, worth an astonishing 26,039 trillion ceks 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. 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 a breathtaking 967,593 ceks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vando0sa's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the word "sexagenarian" has taken on a whole new meaning, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vando0sa's national animal is the catfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Paganism.

Vando0sa is ranked 306,690^th in the world and 97^th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Longest Average Lifespans, with 22 years.
