The Free Land of The Vacuous Isles is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sevyn with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory vegetarianism, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.217 billion Vacuous Islesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pragiff. The average income tax rate is 57.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vacuous Islesian economy, worth 113 trillion Korunas 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 92,932 Korunas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Autocrats are persona non grata, the official Vacuous Islesian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Vacuous Isles's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Vacuous Isles is ranked 283,487th in the world and 1st in The Oblivion Alliance for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -7.21 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
