The Armed Nation of Republic of Vectors is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Military Command with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 2.014 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 juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vectors. The average income tax rate is 79%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

A punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions, the Cougar is protected from hunting and slowly coming back from the brink of extinction, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Republic of Vectors's national animal is the Cougar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Roman Catholic, and its currency is the Dollar.

Republic of Vectors is ranked 1st in Deuthands and 8,062nd in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 23 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
