The Republic of Vind Mon is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9 million Vind Monians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.5%.

The strong Vind Monian economy, worth 469 billion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 52,125 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vind Mon's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Vind Mon is ranked 90,023^rd in the world and 5^th in The Intergalactic Frontier for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 34.31 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
