The Glorious Republic of Vanuzgard is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.361 billion Fokkusuans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shokaisho. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Fokkusu economy, worth 547 trillion Koins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 85,962 Koins, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Armed police units patrol the roads late at night, children can sing 'We Are the Champions' but can't spell it, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', and police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vanuzgard's national animal is the silver fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hoīru.

Vanuzgard is ranked 8,064^th in the world and 12^th in Far East Oriental Federation for Rudest Citizens, with 128.95 insults per minute.
