The Community of Vequalica is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Anitta Ryubyuthatchksheri with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.304 billion Vequalicans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uvalienes. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vequalican economy, worth 545 trillion Dalanans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 165,084 Dalanans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, and autocrats are persona non grata. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vequalica's national animal is the Snowman, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vequalica is ranked 13,775th in the world and 26th in Thaecia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 344.99 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
