The Corporate Communist State of Vandoosa is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Lilly Zaiveria with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, strictly enforced bedtime, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.003 billion Youkai are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serico. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Youkai economy, worth a remarkable 8,916 trillion Ceks a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 685,725 Ceks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

It's all white elephants on parade, the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and every manufactory has a pharmacy built in. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vandoosa's national animal is the Faerie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Shvonkism.

Vandoosa is ranked 1,274^th in the world and 41^st in the Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 969.3 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
