The State of VW is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.327 billion VWians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong VWian economy, worth 604 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 39,424 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 268,037 per year while the poor average 2,118, a ratio of 126 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, voting is voluntary, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and VW has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. VW's national animal is the deer.

VW is ranked 140,832^nd in the world and 181^st in Omega Prime for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 37,532.02 Standard Monetary Units.
