The Kingdom of Vonstania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Albert I with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 2.293 billion Vonstanians are prohibited from doing almost everything but make sure no one in government gets away with anything either.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vonstalva. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vonstanian economy, worth 410 trillion crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 179,205 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone, turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vonstania's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Vonstania is ranked 14,573rd in the world and 43rd in Fifth Empire for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,156.82 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
