The United Provinces of Vasquescas is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Carlos Valedoza with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.073 billion Vasquescasians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laputa. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vasquescasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,045 trillion Blitz Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 103,773 Blitz Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, glamping Vasquescasians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and farting etiquette is taught in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vasquescas's national animal is the Chickie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Vasquescas is ranked 37,802^nd in the world and 4^th in Urana Firma for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
