The 🌪️cataclysmic catastrophe❄️ of Vando0sa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sergeant Major Sabinka with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 27.354 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 aren't funded at all. 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 26,490 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 968,429 ceks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and most politicians belong to the Church of the Divine Kickback. 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 frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Cult of Shvonkism.

Vando0sa is ranked 104th in the world and 1st in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 32,296.62 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
