The Colony of Vendiera is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 638 million Vendierans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lapalbina. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vendieran economy, worth 68.7 trillion Rijknas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,743 Rijknas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, former prison executives find themselves guests in their own facilities, and the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vendiera's national animal is the Yapelk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vendiera is ranked 277,288^th in the world and 205^th in Thaecia for Most Patriotic, with 0.6 flags saluted per person per day.
