The Oh So Divine Land of Vibe Town is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Divine Arbiter with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 8.3 billion Vibians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Good Place. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vibian economy, worth a remarkable 1,009 trillion Good Vibes 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, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 121,617 Good Vibes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unemployed youngsters trained to kill are being released en masse into society, thousands of former pirates can be found peddling knockoff products in flea markets, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, and government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vibe Town's national animal is the Sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vibeism.

Vibe Town is ranked 128,973rd in the world and 2,659th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 257.28419644912 days.
