The Confederacy of Vectus is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 455 million Vectusians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vectacia. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Vectusian economy, worth 27.2 trillion Creds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 59,810 Creds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and the inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vectus's national animal is the Hyena.

Vectus is ranked 212,299^th in the world and 387^th in The Leftist Assembly for Fattest Citizens, with 9.04 Obesity Rate.
