The Federal Republic of Rainbow Vests is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by an Taoiseach with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.605 billion Rainbow Vestsians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Pale. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rainbow Vestsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,246 trillion Quid a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,437 Quid, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Out-of-work actors say they can't complain, An Taoiseach's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves, Rainbow Vestsian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, and the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rainbow Vests's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rainbow Vests is ranked 15,082^nd in the world and 340^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 328.11 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
