The Corporate Conglomerate of Vexus is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Whitmore with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.971 billion Vexians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vector. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vexian economy, worth a remarkable 1,314 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 188,564 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,655,505 per year while the poor average 3,189, a ratio of 519 to 1.

Internet moderators work overtime to remove memes comparing Chairman Whitmore to cartoon bears, the Great Vexian Desert is reputedly the most uninhabitable place in the region, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vexus's national animal is the Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Consumerism.

Vexus is ranked 20,827^th in the world and 2^nd in Selene for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 8,342.75 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
