The Queendom of The Vess Hoard is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 604 million Vess Hoardians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The strong Vess Hoardian economy, worth 38.6 trillion ducats a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 63,825 ducats, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 447,229 per year while the poor average 3,119, a ratio of 143 to 1.

The military has had to quell a recent insurrection by uninsured revolutionaries, Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, it turns out that money can buy you happiness, and at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Leader's wardrobe. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Vess Hoard's national animal is the sea lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

The Vess Hoard is ranked 38,084^th in the world and 17^th in Lair of the Dragon for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,738.8 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
