The Glorious Republic of Vanuzgard is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.318 billion Fokkusuans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shokaisho. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Fokkusu economy, worth 189 trillion Koins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,735 Koins, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", environmental officials dismiss uncontrolled wildfires burning down major cities as nature taking its course, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, and people talk about things being better when men were men. Crime is well under control, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vanuzgard's national animal is the silver fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hoīru.

Vanuzgard is ranked 284,806^th in the world and 534^th in Far East Oriental Federation for Most Primitive, scoring -207.43 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
