The Federal Republic of Rainbow Vests is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by an Taoiseach with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.449 billion Rainbow Vestsians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Pale. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rainbow Vestsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,273 trillion Quid a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,190 Quid, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Out-of-work actors say they can't complain, An Taoiseach's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves, Rainbow Vestsian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, and the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Rainbow Vests's national animal is the Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rainbow Vests is ranked 27,725^th in the world and 604^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
