The Mediterranean Republic of Vulbania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Georgy Zhukov with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.354 billion Vulbanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valletta. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vulbanian economy, worth 130 trillion MSCS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 96,208 MSCS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, foragers descend on national cemeteries for 'all-you-can-dig-up' extravaganzas, and studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vulbania's national animal is the Seagull, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gooseism.

Vulbania is ranked 253,039^th in the world and 8,923^rd in the South Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 8 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
