The Crowned Republic of Vesteus is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, state-planned economy, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.672 billion Vesteusians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 17.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vesteusian economy, worth 537 trillion Imperial Marks 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 70,102 Imperial Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, a new "thought police" branch is being developed, and the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vesteus's national animal is the Eagle and the wolf.

Vesteus is ranked 175,003^rd in the world and 6^th in South Newtown for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
