The Archipelago Federation of Vafipasan is a massive, genial nation, notable for its national health service, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.977 billion Vafipasanis enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Riosa. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vafipasanian economy, worth 478 trillion Notoas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,212 Notoas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, workers for the environmental protection agency are patted down for tartar sauce every morning, and school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time. Crime is totally unknown. Vafipasan's national animal is the Sting ray, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Vafipasan is ranked 39,304^th in the world and 2,204^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 75 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
