The Citizen's Republic of Vaeruio is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, devout population of 16.851 billion Vaeruioans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vaeruioan economy, worth a remarkable 1,335 trillion Riyals a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 79,255 Riyals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lending money has become a major liability, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, museums offer moralization or your money back, and history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaeruio's national animal is the Vaeruioan Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vaeruio is ranked 274,664^th in the world and 47^th in Hartfelden for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -5.22 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
