The Empire of Vegaga is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ramesses XII with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.676 billion Vegagans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Luxor. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Vegagan economy, worth a remarkable 2,606 trillion Staters a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Woodchip Exports, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 300,397 Staters, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, organ donation rates have hit a new low, citizens are abandoning their homes en masse in a widespread panic over asbestos, and the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking. Crime is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Vegaga's national animal is the Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Way.

Vegaga is ranked 291,018^th in the world and 1^st in Ozymandias for Safest, scoring 2.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
