The Commonwealth of Vonbrunnenfountain is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its fear of technology, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.314 billion Vonbrunnenfountainians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.6%.

The thriving Vonbrunnenfountainian economy, worth 87.9 trillion Deneroes a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 66,871 Deneroes, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

It is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, the government is lending a hand to private industry, spaceports are more prevalent than computer ports, and getting an autograph has become harder than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vonbrunnenfountain's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vonbrunnenfountain is ranked 190,082^nd in the world and 13^th in Fountainsprings for Most Politically Free, scoring 8.86 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
