The Woodhouse Sanctum of Vberg is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, prohibition of alcohol, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.986 billion Vbergians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.6%.

The powerhouse Vbergian economy, worth a remarkable 2,543 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 87,741 $$s, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 351,491 per year while the poor average 14,696, a ratio of 23.9 to 1.

Young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vberg's national animal is the ^-^, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vberg is ranked 16,217th in the world and 1st in Vorarlberg for Largest Black Market, with 247 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
