The Oh So Divine Land of Vibe Town is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Divine Arbiter with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 8.469 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, socially-minded, 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 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vibian economy, worth a remarkable 1,033 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 122,069 Good Vibes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All weapon research has been banned, the song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in Vibe Town' is a smash hit, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine. 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 110,364th in the world and 4,073rd in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,427.11 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
