The Confederacy of Vaste is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ji Elofim Kolonetzov with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.435 billion Vastenese have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vastashe. The average income tax rate is 62.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Vastanese economy, worth 272 trillion Zoobges a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,470 Zoobges, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, and citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Vaste. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaste's national animal is the Skylark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vaste is ranked 30,829^th in the world and 1,565^th in The North Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 1,199.57 Tourists Per Hour.
