The United Dominion of Vetok is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Survan Jaansma with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The democratic population of 24.008 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 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vetokite economy, worth a remarkable 1,817 trillion Vetokite Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Uranium Mining industry. Average income is 75,687 Vetokite Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish, and children who write letters to Santa Claus end up in straitjackets. 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vetok is ranked 276,625^th in the world and 353^rd in Eurth for Most Cultured, scoring 53 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
