The Federal Republic of Rainbow Vests is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by an Taoiseach with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.571 billion Rainbow Vestsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Pale. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rainbow Vestsian economy, worth 606 trillion Quid a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 108,933 Quid, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, the doctor has cold hands, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery. Crime is totally unknown. Rainbow Vests's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rainbow Vests is ranked 173,459^th in the world and 5,219^th in The East Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,096.46 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
