The Well Manured Land of Vege Patch is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Big Broccoli with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, unlimited-speed roads, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed population of 30.197 billion Vege Patchians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The minute, socially-minded government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aluminium Shed. The average income tax rate is 3.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Vege Patchian economy, worth 293 trillion Dirty Big Spuds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,703 Dirty Big Spuds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Regional governors use national law books as toilet paper, superfoods are often seen as supervillains, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, and being dead no longer has any benefits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Vege Patch's national animal is the Composting Earthworm, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Zucchinism.

Vege Patch is ranked 136,794th in the world and 6th in 42 Douglas Adams for Most Stationary, with 227.25163928108 days.
