The Rogue Nation of Steel Vagabonds is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The all knowing Father with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 21.053 billion Steel Vagabondsians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Steel Vagabonds City. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Steel Vagabondsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,657 trillion Baubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,246 Baubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament, artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, old folks yearn for the days when young people saw bloodthirsty death matches with their own eyes instead of through a screen, and belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace'. Crime is totally unknown. Steel Vagabonds's national animal is the Kodiac Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Father worshiping.

Steel Vagabonds is ranked 6,731st in the world and 347th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 144 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
