The Big Yellow Spaceships of Vogon Constructor Fleet is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.405 billion Vogons are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vogsphere. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Vogon economy, worth 292 trillion altarian dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 85,849 altarian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, homes have been banned from having any more than one wheel, peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, and churches frequently hold public 'contraception burnings'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vogon Constructor Fleet's national animal is the dentrassi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bureaucracy.

Vogon Constructor Fleet is ranked 207,729^th in the world and 3^rd in Miracle Musical for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
