The Republic of Vespurg is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 343 million Vespurgians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Pheasant. The average income tax rate is 29.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Vespurgian economy, worth 23.8 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,401 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
The arms industry is strictly regulated, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vespurg's national animal is the horned snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Vespurg is ranked 31,067th in the world and 562nd in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,841.82 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
