The Most Serene Republic of Air-made Vegetable is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 918 million Air-made Vegetableans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 46.1%.

State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,368 estrogens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, a historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Air-made Vegetable in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Air-made Vegetable's national animal is the Double-Headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Air-made Vegetable is ranked 139,325^th in the world and 245^th in Incoherent Theming for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 39,006.5 Standard Monetary Units.
