The Democratic Republic of Vxphong is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 337 million Vxphongians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vuizcomm City Center. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.3%.

The strong Vxphongian economy, worth 20.6 trillion Cyber Dong a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 61,138 Cyber Dong, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 172,823 per year while the poor average 17,303, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The mentally ill are given high powered automatic weapons for "catharsis therapy", all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Vuizcomm City Center, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, and one can wake up in Vxphong and have breakfast in Bigtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vxphong's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vxphong is ranked 210,544^th in the world and 4^th in Vuizcomm for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.43 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
