The Intergalactic Crystal Empire of Vanshia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Vansh I with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 11.477 billion Vanshians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystal City. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vanshian economy, worth a remarkable 1,363 trillion crystals a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,800 crystals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crystal City Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years, feeling like a winner comes at a price, Vanshian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, and fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vanshia's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Order of The Crystals.

Vanshia is ranked 17,956^th in the world and 3^rd in Lisseum for Safest, scoring 114.85 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
