The República of Vientina is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Hans Woodsen with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.65 billion Vientinans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astória. The average income tax rate is 82.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vientinan economy, worth a remarkable 1,142 trillion Renzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 245,738 Renzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, and history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vientina's national animal is the Angora Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vientina is ranked 3,071^st in the world and 66^th in Europe for Highest Food Quality, scoring 244.55 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
