The First Revolting Zealotarchy of New Vedlar is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Zealotarch Enoch Breseth with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, disturbing lack of elderly people, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.018 billion Vedlari 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, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Craggonemea. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vedlarian economy, worth 826 trillion Macropelants a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 117,784 Macropelants, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, Craggonemea University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, slaves aren't half the men they used to be, and primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Zealotarch Enoch Breseth's hair. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vedlar's national animal is the Red pouldron falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Ozark Star.

New Vedlar is ranked 167,889^th in the world and 2,241^st in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 228.16 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
