The Warmte of Vuur is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its daily referendums, disturbing lack of elderly people, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 9.027 billion Vuurians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Vuurian economy, worth 656 trillion golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,634 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, and advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vuur's national animal is the Elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Vuur is ranked 270,229^th in the world and 131^st in Hell for Highest Drug Use, scoring 27.98 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
