The High Kingdom of New Vectis is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by King Alfred the Great with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 41.705 billion New Vectans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carisbrooke. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Vectisian economy, worth a remarkable 4,711 trillion crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,978 crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lending money has become a major liability, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vectis's national animal is the red squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is pagan.

New Vectis is ranked 9,797^th in the world and 2^nd in Wihtwara for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
