The Republic of Vacuole is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning paramecium population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.72 billion Vacuoleans 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 Social Policy, Environment, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 24.1%.

The Vacuolean economy, worth a remarkable 1,157 trillion membranes a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 43,315 membranes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vacuole's national animal is the paramecium, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vacuole is ranked 180,189^th in the world and 27^th in Nasicournia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
