The Dragon Elzren of Vaukath is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.33 billion Vaukathians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaukath City. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Vaukathian economy, worth 306 trillion Marks a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,774 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest growing field, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaukath's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vaukath is ranked 234,097^th in the world and 1^st in Bethany for Highest Average Incomes, with 41,774.9 Standard Monetary Units.
