The Federal Republic of Rainbow Vests is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by an Taoiseach with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.547 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, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Pale. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rainbow Vestsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,105 trillion Quid a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,826 Quid, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Out-of-work actors say they can't complain, An Taoiseach's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves, Rainbow Vestsian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, and the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 296,646^th in the world and 6,894^th in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -315.55 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
