The Sheep shoop of Vest Oldabre is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Kyte Wardin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, complete lack of prisons, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.485 billion mistakes are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Exalos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Vest Oldabrean economy, worth a remarkable 4,192 trillion Pebbleses a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 399,890 Pebbleses, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,827,975 per year while the poor average 18,966, a ratio of 149 to 1.
Governments opposing Vest Oldabre are beset by rebels, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, and the credibility of anti-government demagogues is undermined by government claims that they smell like poo. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Vest Oldabre's national animal is the Wood Jester, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is bread.
Vest Oldabre is ranked 306,635th in the world and 214th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Cultured, scoring -47 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
