The Animals' Republic of Vegaslovakia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by the Premier with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate population of 20.959 billion Vegaslovakians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Watsongrad. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Vegaslovakian economy, worth a remarkable 2,585 trillion Credit Points a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 123,364 Credit Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National foreign policy involves significant amounts of hand wringing, war is more of a science than an art, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, and nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vegaslovakia's national animal is the Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular Misanthropy.

Vegaslovakia is ranked 17,826^th in the world and 1^st in Misanthropic Bloc for Largest Populations, with 21.0 billion capita.
