“in Vepar, nationstates plays you :)”

The Democratic States of Vepar is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its intelligent population of 4.09 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 39%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vepar's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the penny.

Vepar is ranked 9th in the region and 40,436th in the world for Largest Publishing Industry.
