The Empire of Vogega is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Alek Morningstar with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.869 billion Vogegans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Latipac Ytic. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vogegan economy, worth a remarkable 4,161 trillion Makoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 209,424 Makoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, populations of two-headed Sharkins have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vogega's national animal is the Sharkin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Imperia.

Vogega is ranked 61,841st in the world and 3,445th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
