The Federal Monarchy of The Vanic Imperium is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Steinarr of Vanaheim with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 9.334 billion Vanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vígiheim. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Vanic economy, worth a remarkable 3,151 trillion Vaniis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 337,591 Vaniis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, and politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Vanic Imperium's national animal is the Vanic Snowmound Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Vanic Imperium is ranked 292,338th in the world and 4,177th in the Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -1013 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
