The Federal Republic of Lusitania y Vettonia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Elisa Ubrique with a fair hand, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, otherworldly petting zoo, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.192 billion Lusitania y Vettonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Augusta Emérita. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Lusitania y Vettonian economy, worth 129 trillion Denarios a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 108,863 Denarios, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 340,326 per year while the poor average 26,719, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

The nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?", and formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lusitania y Vettonia's national animal is the Cigüeña, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Lusitania y Vettonia is ranked 94,221^st in the world and 49^th in European Union for Most Influential, scoring 288 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
