The Queendom of VegeTotia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Esteemed Elderberry Council with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory vegetarianism, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 4.242 billion VegeTotians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving VegeTotian economy, worth 356 trillion miens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 83,962 miens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, and the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VegeTotia's national animal is the cockroach, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

VegeTotia is ranked 156,997^th in the world and 163^rd in Conch Kingdom for Most Extreme, scoring 18.47 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
