The Republic of Another former VP is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 11.312 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 72%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, organ donation is compulsory, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime is totally unknown. Another former VP's national animal is the eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

Another former VP is ranked 157th in Texas and 96,566th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
