The Democratic Republic of Vanamar is a huge, safe nation, notable for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 514 million Vanamarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Canberra. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vanamarian economy, worth 43.2 trillion Debits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 83,954 Debits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has an international reputation for compassion, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, it is impossible to get any work done as auditors swarm every inch of government factories and mines, and the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vanamar's national animal is the Darivian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vanamar is ranked 34,962^nd in the world and 811^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
