The Holy Republic of Vekaiyu is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 27.486 billion Vekaiyuns enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 57.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Vekaiyun economy, worth 474 trillion veskonoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 17,251 veskonoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vekaiyu's national animal is the fox.
Vekaiyu is ranked 254,611th in the world and 16th in Fox Rite for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.36 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
