The Corporate Conglomerate of Vexus is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Chairman Whitmore with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.56 billion Vexians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vector. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vexian economy, worth a remarkable 1,449 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 191,699 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,743,314 per year while the poor average 2,404, a ratio of 724 to 1.

Vacationing Vexians expect to be treated as royalty, parole board directors light up a joint before telling hash-brownie baking grannies that they have to stay behind bars, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, and Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vexus's national animal is the Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Consumerism.

Vexus is ranked 44,090^th in the world and 5^th in Selene for Smartest Citizens, with 46.71 quips per hour.
