The Rogue Nation of VanthaJester is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avant-garde cinema, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-working, democratic population of 369 million Vanthalisians 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 Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 24.8%.

The strong VanthaJesterian economy, worth 21.2 trillion Vanns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,479 Vanns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The official VanthaJesterian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, and crime is on the rise as online youths compete to vlog the most shocking scenes of violence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VanthaJester's national animal is the Reptiles, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

VanthaJester is ranked 62,245^th in the world and 664^th in Suspicious for Nicest Citizens, with 15.9 average smiles per day.
