The Incomprehensible Catastrophe of The Ankhalic Vaspriot is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prince of Rhodoline with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.8 billion Vaspriots enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhodoline. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Vaspriot economy, worth a remarkable 1,938 trillion Courjitziens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 197,788 Courjitziens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vaspriot diplomacy is by the book, Vaspriot husbands are dead good at fathering kids, hazmat suits are a common Vaspriot garb, and passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ankhalic Vaspriot's national animal is the House Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orifism.

The Ankhalic Vaspriot is ranked 2,738^th in the world and 1^st in Aessui for Highest Poor Incomes, with 197,023.41 Standard Monetary Units.
