The Confederacy of Vectus is a huge, safe nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 631 million Vectusians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vectacia. The average income tax rate is 58.9%.

The very strong Vectusian economy, worth 52.2 trillion Creds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 82,755 Creds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, and it's always rabbit season. Crime is totally unknown. Vectus's national animal is the Hyena.

Vectus is ranked 2,993^rd in the world and 32^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Drug Use, scoring 380.06 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
