The People's Social Republic of Vastelland is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Chairman Custard with an even hand, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate population of 2.992 billion Vastelians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Konisburg. The average income tax rate is 22.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Vastelian economy, worth 194 trillion Vants a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,034 Vants, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity, the Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Chairman Custard Pics" has made Chairman Custard's mom a celebrity, tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vastelland's national animal is the Red Fox and its national religion is Undefined.

Vastelland is ranked 113,186^th in the world and 5,738^th in Lazarus for Highest Average Incomes, with 65,034.69 Standard Monetary Units.
