The Nomadic Peoples of Vachon is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by m4lso with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.648 billion Vachonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arachides. The average income tax rate is 27.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vachonian economy, worth 117 trillion Crumbs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,034 Crumbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Businesses have become paranoid as waves of lawsuits sweep the nation, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, and citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vachon's national animal is the Mega Brownie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Undefined.

Vachon is ranked 108,575^th in the world and 1,161^st in the Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,540.94 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
