The Free Land of Vantas is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 67 million Vantasians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Vantasian economy, worth 1.93 trillion Peruvian phalluses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 28,872 Peruvian phalluses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, structures are raised on promises, and all funding starts one dime at a time. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vantas's national animal is the crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Vantas is ranked 27,566^th in the world and 740^th in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,771.36 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
