The Unified Imperium of Vetok is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Vetok XII with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.685 billion Vetokites 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carrishem. The average income tax rate is 82.3%.

The powerhouse Vetokite economy, worth 927 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Uranium Mining industry. Average income is 67,756 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Guns are banned, invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vetok's national animal is the Sabre-bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Trans-Humanism.
