The Republic of Vront is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 3.767 billion Vrontians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Vrontian economy, worth 82.5 trillion francs a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,897 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vront's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Vront is ranked 246,702^nd in the world and 1^st in Trovons for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 29.15 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
