The Incorporated States of Vonnegear is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, hard-working population of 822 million Vonnegearians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aatolen. The average income tax rate is 16.5%.

The powerhouse Vonnegearian economy, worth 79.1 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 96,247 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, it is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, and solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vonnegear's national animal is the Primate, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vonnegear is ranked 34,046^th in the world and 1^st in Thule Alba for Smartest Citizens, with 53.04 quips per hour.
