The Constitutional Diarchy of Vystercia-Nasucrea is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Kings Ar-Yos I and Sergan I with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.01 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The small government devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vystercium . Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.

The nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, the military struggles with recruitment, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Vystercia-Nasucrea's national animal is the mountain goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Deism, and its currency is the greenleaf.

Vystercia-Nasucrea is ranked 2,985th in Lazarus and 122,031st in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -17 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
