The Republic of Another former VP is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 13.501 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although the Environment and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. 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.

Thousands of Another former VP's citizens have been evicted from their homes so as 'not to cause a fuss' on the international scene, the nation leads Texas in per capita stalking, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, and the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations. Crime is relatively low. 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 36th in Texas and 24,393rd in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 16 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
