The República of Vientina is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Hans Woodsen with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.625 billion Vientinans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astória. The average income tax rate is 82.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vientinan economy, worth a remarkable 1,135 trillion Renzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 245,474 Renzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, and children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vientina's national animal is the Angora Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vientina is ranked 18,497^th in the world and 352^nd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,077.55 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
