The Empire of Vornoth is a mid-sized, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 87 million Vornothians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The thriving Vornothian economy, worth 6.76 trillion kroners a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 77,753 kroners, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 315,256 per year while the poor average 12,765, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

Infantry are nicknamed "mushrooms" because they get fed crap and are left in the dark, you can tell when Vornothians are being snarky by the fact their lips are moving, drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, and oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vornoth's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vornoth is ranked 258,838^th in the world and 2,938^th in the Pacific for Safest, scoring 25.38 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
