The Federal Republic of Vesuva is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jodah the Eternal with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.343 billion Vesuvans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Changeling. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vesuvan economy, worth a remarkable 1,227 trillion Vesuvan dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,169 Vesuvan dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, the newest shade developed by Vesuva's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned, and when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vesuva's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vesuva is ranked 133,829^th in the world and 7,726^th in The North Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -6.32 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
