The Federated Republic of Vastalon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by High Steward Gabrael Aedones with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 31.535 billion Vastalonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vastalon City. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vastalonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,648 trillion Vas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 115,701 Vas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, and basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child. Crime is totally unknown. Vastalon's national animal is the Crimson Vastahawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vastalon is ranked 291,146^th in the world and 105^th in Yggdrasil for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -64.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
