The Federation of VTML is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ieinu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 10.698 billion VTMLians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Japari. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient VTMLian economy, worth a remarkable 1,622 trillion Sytquots 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 151,683 Sytquots, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, time flies when you're not having fun, and heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Sytquot treacle machine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VTML's national animal is the Canis Lupus Familaris, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

VTML is ranked 23,092^nd in the world and 503^rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.91 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
