The Democratic Republic of Vesmeria is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 45 million Vesmerians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 29.0%.

The Vesmerian economy, worth 2.19 trillion verens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 48,650 verens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Vesmeria City Natural History Museum, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, losing your sock key may require surgical intervention, and Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vesmeria's national animal is the dove.

Vesmeria is ranked 145,054^th in the world and 227^th in Pacifism for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
