The Community of Vee Eight is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Major Tom with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 30.749 billion Vee Eightians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Vee Eightian economy, worth a remarkable 4,553 trillion petrodollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,088 petrodollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Opening a bad email attachment can be a major felony, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, a passport is literally priceless, and homophobia is off the menu. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vee Eight's national animal is the firebird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vee Eight is ranked 711th in the world and 12th in The East Pacific for Most Stationary, with 5,132.66338176 days.
