The State of Cornelius Vanderbilt is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 21.985 billion Builders 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 minute, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Law & Order, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The powerhouse Cornelius Vanderbiltian economy, worth a remarkable 1,096 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 49,895 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,169 per year while the poor average 7,198, a ratio of 30.3 to 1.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, the right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and Cornelius Vanderbilt has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Cornelius Vanderbilt's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cornelius Vanderbilt is ranked 47,209th in the world and 7th in Apia for Most Stationary, with 930.44095312852 days.
