The Animals' Republic of Vegaslovakia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Premier with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate population of 15.771 billion Vegaslovakians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Watsongrad. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Vegaslovakian economy, worth a remarkable 1,934 trillion Credit Points a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 122,636 Credit Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Watsongrad spends billions upgrading public transport, sections of the police receive paramilitary training, no one knows how to tie a reef knot, and weekends are spent tilting at windmills. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vegaslovakia's national animal is the Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular Misanthropy.

Vegaslovakia is ranked 8,297^th in the world and 1^st in Misanthropic Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
