The 🌪️cataclysmic catastrophe❄️ of Vando0sa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sergeant Major Sabinka with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, sprawling nuclear power plants, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 27.213 billion youkai 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 large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serico. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient youkai economy, worth an astonishing 26,347 trillion ceks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 968,198 ceks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An opal a day keeps the negative thoughts at bay, the alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO, posters of politicians in sensual poses can be found on the walls of teenagers' rooms, and rumor has it that Sergeant Major Sabinka has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vando0sa's national animal is the catfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of Shvonkism.

Vando0sa is ranked 169^th in the world and 2^nd in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Cultured, scoring 755 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
