The State of Vezna is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kaius Jr with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.667 billion Veznans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tuzar. The average income tax rate is 33.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Veznan economy, worth 155 trillion Satlers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,505 Satlers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Vezna successfully hosted the Balder Olympics, Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, and lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vezna's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vezna is ranked 32,228^th in the world and 1,662^nd in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,736.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
