The Ruins of Old Vesperia is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.776 billion Old Vesperians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 34.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Old Vesperian economy, worth 56.6 trillion Vespins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,883 Vespins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, the death penalty has been reintroduced, marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Vesperia's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Old Vesperia is ranked 246,431^st in the world and 45^th in Centennimisa for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -2.19 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
