The State of VanKoughnet is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.93 billion VanKoughnetians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The powerhouse VanKoughnetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,052 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 50,275 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 172,481 per year while the poor average 10,755, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, VanKoughnet has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of VanKoughnet in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. VanKoughnet's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

VanKoughnet is ranked 58,931st in the world and 8th in Crematorium for Most Stationary, with 778.09274507588 days.
