The Queendom of VegeTotia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Esteemed Elderberry Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.98 billion VegeTotians 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, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong VegeTotian economy, worth 219 trillion miens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 73,716 miens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, Esteemed Elderberry Council panders to nontraditional families, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. VegeTotia's national animal is the cockroach, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

VegeTotia is ranked 5,631^st in the world and 20^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,416.08 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
