The Federal Republic of Vayshnoriya Islands is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 169 million Vayshnoriyans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 11.7%.

The Vayshnoriya Islandsian economy, worth 11.2 trillion island talers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 66,421 island talers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Vayshnoriya Islandsian Embarrassments, powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents, polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, and the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Vayshnoriya Islands's national animal is the European bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vayshnoriya Islands is ranked 200,111^th in the world and 1,206^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Drug Use, scoring 33.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
