The Thirteen Realms of Vaughti is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.065 billion Vaughtiid hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tsitailla. The average income tax rate is 41.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vaughtiid economy, worth 794 trillion Aůlins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 98,483 Aůlins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and televisions are often seized to pay for overdue television license fees. Crime is almost non-existent. Vaughti's national animal is the Xel'sas Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Fabric of Reality.

Vaughti is ranked 116,972^nd in the world and 6,319^th in Osiris for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 41.51 Effective Tax Rate.
