The Incorporated States of Vestiani is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 780 million Vestianians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Divitiae. The average income tax rate is 8.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Vestianian economy, worth 63.1 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 80,897 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The entire retail industry has been replaced by online delivery services, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges. Crime is moderate. Vestiani's national animal is the Bull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vestiani is ranked 142,460^th in the world and 9^th in The Golden Caliphate for Safest, scoring 62.45 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
