The Kingdom of West Vin Dapongdommul is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Karthi Naran with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.207 billion Dapongdommuls 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kapilaghat. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Dapongdommul economy, worth 98.9 trillion dapons a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,954 dapons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, nations that kill a Dapongdommul can expect a strongly worded letter, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and the official Dapongdommul Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Vin Dapongdommul's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

West Vin Dapongdommul is ranked 225,222^nd in the world and 627^th in Concord for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 24,094.65 Standard Monetary Units.
