The Anocratic Synocracy of V E X is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Chairman with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 36.874 billion Vexians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute, corrupt, liberal government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Law & Order, although Education and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tel Voldt. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Vexian economy, worth a remarkable 9,096 trillion Zenis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 246,685 Zenis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parking lots are littered with coffee cups and doughnut crumbs, war is made in the name of love, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. V E X's national animal is the Panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

V E X is ranked 6,569^th in the world and 38^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Average Incomes, with 246,685.21 Standard Monetary Units.
