The Principality of Vesicatrus is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prince Sarı Gözləri with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate population of 2.588 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hakluyt. The average income tax rate is 95%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

A vast monorail network carries people all over the country, a government program is underway to revitalize Vesicatrus's beaches, all footpaths have tollbooths, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vesicatrus's national animal is the woodchuck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Seicho-no-Ie, and its currency is the salta.

Vesicatrus is ranked 151st in bonvanasmith and 120,935th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 5 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
