The Free Land of Vesteslavie is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its national health service, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 609 million Vesteslavians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Evangeline. The average income tax rate is 69.7%.

The strong Vesteslaviean economy, worth 39.0 trillion talentums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,060 talentums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, Vesteslavie's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, voting is compulsory, and white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vesteslavie's national animal is the lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vesteslavie is ranked 83,854^th in the world and 2^nd in Mirra for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,027.53 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
