The Incorporated States of The Vanishing Point is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working population of 2.832 billion Vanishing Pointians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The very strong Vanishing Pointian economy, worth 166 trillion Ding Dong a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 58,895 Ding Dong, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 170,566 per year while the poor average 16,115, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Vanishing Point's national animal is the Microbe, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
