The Federal Monarchy of The Vanic Imperium is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Steinarr of Vanaheim with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.384 billion Vanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vígiheim. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Vanic economy, worth a remarkable 3,180 trillion Vaniis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 338,922 Vaniis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, subsidisation of Big Pharma has stopped many corporate executives from having to sell their second homes, and the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Vanic Imperium's national animal is the Vanic Snowmound Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Vanic Imperium is ranked 3,970^th in the world and 96^th in the Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 223.76 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
