The Democratic Republic of Vesusia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Chairman Gabriel Trump with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.968 billion Vesusians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Relelira. The average income tax rate is 45.5%.

The thriving Vesusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,397 trillion rilas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 82,337 rilas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

'Hippopotamusnado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, dream holidays often go awry, sleeping on the job is recommended, and the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Vesusia's national animal is the hippopotamus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Vesusia is ranked 83,215^th in the world and 7^th in Lisseum for Most Patriotic, with 17.09 flags saluted per person per day.
