The Federal Republic of Rainbow Vests is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by an Taoiseach with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.556 billion Rainbow Vestsians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Pale. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rainbow Vestsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,259 trillion Quid a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,018 Quid, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Out-of-work actors say they can't complain, An Taoiseach's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves, Rainbow Vestsian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, and the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rainbow Vests's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rainbow Vests is ranked 20,161^st in the world and 362^nd in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,121.51 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
