The Empire of Vanevils is a mid-sized, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 91 million Vanevilsians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government prioritizes Administration, with Welfare, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 23.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vanevilsian economy, worth 6.94 trillion vanes shards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,241 vanes shards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to Vanevils" on tails, school football matches are usually five-a-side, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Elfin Dung" has been declared a national treasure, and the banshee wail foretells skies of death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vanevils's national animal is the elfin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vanevils is ranked 106,292^nd in the world and 10^th in HVMUN for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 804.24 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
