The Workers' People's Republic of VonelHeim is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lucifer Hertz with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.635 billion Vonelians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of VonelHaim Stadt. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vonelyanets economy, worth 109 trillion VonelMarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 67,129 VonelMarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Recent events in Dàguó have been classified 'for Lucifer Hertz's eyes only', athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, the government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget', and unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VonelHeim's national animal is the Black Crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Scientific Atheism.

VonelHeim is ranked 284,059^th in the world and 71^st in Communist Allied Defense Organization for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -10.45 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
