The Planet of Vensend is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its digital currency, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.995 billion Vensendians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vensendian economy, worth 198 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 99,579 Imperial Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, holy matrimony has been wedded to an unwieldy bureaucracy, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, and the government invades its allies more than its enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vensend's national animal is the Farm Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vensend is ranked 211,274^th in the world and 16^th in Firmament for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
