The Dominion of Van Vorst is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.529 billion Van Vorstians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.6%.

The Van Vorstian economy, worth 131 trillion aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 51,810 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Van Vorst's national animal is the bovina.

Van Vorst is ranked 182,373^rd in the world and 1^st in Jersey City for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 306.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
