The Republic of Vornio is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vortico Diozy with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.1 billion Vornioans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alisoidio. The average income tax rate is 17.7%.

The powerhouse Vornioan economy, worth 100 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 91,757 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vornio's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Vornio is ranked 73,923^rd in the world and 1,198^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 91,757.32 Standard Monetary Units.
