The Colony of Vendiera is a huge, genial nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 584 million Vendierans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lapalbina. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vendieran economy, worth 62.1 trillion Rijknas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,318 Rijknas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military pistols are more secure than the national treasury, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', what goes down must come up, and prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vendiera's national animal is the Yapelk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vendiera is ranked 131,785^th in the world and 86^th in Thaecia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 793.97 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
