The Empire of Vushera is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 14 million Vusherans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 7.2%.

The strong Vusheran economy, worth 756 billion florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 54,038 florins, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vushera's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Vushera is ranked 85,189^th in the world and 3^rd in Swirling Fires for Fattest Citizens, with 11.84 Obesity Rate.
