The United Kingdom of Vespeck is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by King Konrad II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.058 billion Vespeckians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kraessholm. The average income tax rate is 31.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vespeckian economy, worth 345 trillion Rians a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 112,996 Rians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, tourists visit Vespeck to mass-moon Vespeckian politicians, election debates consists mostly of two grey suits arguing over how to best preserve the status quo, and politicians have literally dirty hands from their extracurricular activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vespeck's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Vespeck is ranked 214,312th in the world and 119th in KAISERREICH for Fattest Citizens, with 8.97 Obesity Rate.
