The Sovereign Dominion of Vestrata is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Decimus Severus with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.27 billion Vestratans 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominex. The average income tax rate is 45.0%.

The Vestratan economy, worth 57.6 trillion Imperions a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 45,327 Imperions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Decimus Severus has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and Order of the Iron Flame has been named as Vestrata's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vestrata's national animal is the Gryphon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Order of the Iron Flame.

Vestrata is ranked 126,507^th in the world and 36^th in Badlands Frontier for Most Patriotic, with 13.91 flags saluted per person per day.
