The Constitutional Republic of Corvetteland is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by President Brian O'Connor with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.498 billion Vetians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aldenspar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Vetian economy, worth a remarkable 2,051 trillion vets a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 241,408 vets, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,033,064 per year while the poor average 36,164, a ratio of 28.6 to 1.

The law says it's okay to sell a bomb to a terrorist so long as they promise not to detonate it, the nation's holy places are littered with doughnut crumbs, politicians are battling inequality by declaring themselves better than everyone else, and the blues go away when it's white out. Crime is totally unknown. Corvetteland's national animal is the Vetian Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Corvetteland is ranked 50,090th in the world and 14th in Sky Haven for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,950 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
