The Autonomous Protectorate of Vas Tcarias is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Julius Cassius with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.46 billion Vas Tcariasians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fortitude. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Vas Tcariasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,687 trillion sestertiuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 147,250 sestertiuses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 736,987 per year while the poor average 16,523, a ratio of 44.6 to 1.

The breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Vas Tcarias, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, and burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vas Tcarias's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vas Tcarias is ranked 283,040^th in the world and 10,836^th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -388.15 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
