The Grand Duchy of Vevonia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Duke with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.468 billion Vevonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciscorío. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.1%.

The all-consuming Vevonian economy, worth 321 trillion meal credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 218,665 meal credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 636,032 per year while the poor average 59,471, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales, to 'cut off family ties' is no longer just a phrase, and at the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vevonia's national animal is the scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Duchism.

Vevonia is ranked 213,962^nd in the world and 115^th in Gay for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
