The Republic of Vantser is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Diana Mostafersen with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 1.421 billion Vantserians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asterhagen. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vantserian economy, worth 159 trillion Kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,140 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, the nation was recently voted as the most stylish in Forest, and trains and passengers alike are often late. Crime is totally unknown. Vantser's national animal is the Canary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vantser is ranked 97,927^th in the world and 204^th in Forest for Safest, scoring 83.54 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
