The Federal Democratic Republic of Vancovaria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by YK Milton with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 26.623 billion Vancovarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vancopolis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Vancovarian economy, worth an astonishing 11,219 trillion vaneroes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 421,420 vaneroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, a flying elephant and YK Milton share the same nickname, the nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear, and the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction. Crime is totally unknown. Vancovaria's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vancovaria is ranked 346,095th in the world and 152nd in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -25.31 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
