“Efficiency, Productivity, Profitability”

The Republic of Vetalia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.602 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vetalia City. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The government is sending thousands of citizens overseas to defend a square mile of land, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, Vetalia's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region, and scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vetalia's national animal is the Vetalian Gazelle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Ruble.

Vetalia is ranked 25th in the region and 51,883rd in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
