The Democratic Republic of Vespertina is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Selma Ambra with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.446 billion Vespertinans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kórsafna. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vespertinan economy, worth 259 trillion folhas de camomilas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 106,109 folhas de camomilas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, and it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma. Crime is totally unknown. Vespertina's national animal is the gatinha, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vespertina is ranked 4,361^st in the world and 10^th in The Frontier Sea for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 86.56 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
