The Democratic Republic of Vanamar is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its digital currency, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 652 million Vanamarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Canberra. The average income tax rate is 58.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Vanamarian economy, worth 55.7 trillion Debits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 85,356 Debits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The world still seems flat to some people in space, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, parking lots are littered with coffee cups and doughnut crumbs, and both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vanamar's national animal is the Darivian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vanamar is ranked 31,980^th in the world and 775^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.44 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
