Vestamiado is a country in Saurth located along the south of the Aeroran Sea and it shares borders with Celesterra's dependency, Barmar, Hondome, Steincara, Goda, Markira, Hetarnea, Zerunitev and ULI. It also shares a maritime border with Celesterra. The capital city and largest city is Kazanov which is the main cultural and commercial hub. The country is a democratic presidential republic and the president is Aleksandr Petrovich and has a population of over 100 million people who speak up to two of the official languages which are Callasian and Celesterran. Most of the population is of Aljamiadonian descent with a minority from Vestastrana. These used to be independent countries until they were formed to create Vestamiado in 1985. Vestamiado is a developed country and is among some of the largest economies in Saurth. It has a significant influence on world order and global affairs and is a founding and leading member of the Aeroran Group, making its military capability one of the strongest, as well as a permanent member of AIDS (Assembly of International Delegates). Furthermore, the country is a recognised nuclear-weapon state and provides security and regional stability within its region and abroad. Vestamiado is best known for it's liberal population, its strong attitude to a secular society, as well as being a world leader on its highly capable extensive railway network which is the backbone of the economy. Additionally, the country is a world leader in science and technology and all of Saurth's big technology companies are headquartered there. | |||

The adjective Vestamiadonian refers to a national who holds citizenship of the country, as defined in law.

Vestamiado invests heavily in its infrastructure which has led to it having one of the most connected, efficient and fastest railway networks in the world, amongst some of the highest average internet speeds in Saurth and state of the art healthcare. Almost all infrastructure is state owned. Due to its world leading railway network, the roads can be of poor quality, especially in rural areas as this has always been underfunded. Vestamiado's electricity originates from a mix of nuclear, wind, hydro, gas and solar power, with small contributions from tidal, oil, coal and waste. It is a net exporter of electricity and is planning to cement this by opening 5GW of nuclear power capacity by the end of the decade. Tap water is clean and of a very high standard and most homes use electric heating with some using gas, and rural areas using wood or charcoal, furthermore, the government has launched an insulating program to help households save energy and money. There are significant oil reserves which is mostly exported abroad. Vestamiado handles 14% of all cargo moved in Saurth. The bulk of this is carried to and from ports usin freight trains within the country and across borders. In the 1980s, Vestamiado started building its LGV network (Ligne à Grande Vitesse), aiming to slash travel times between cities and increase railway capacity. There are several lines open, allowing Kanzanov to be accessed by anyone in the country within 7 hours of their local station. This high speed network is the 3rd largest in Saurth and new lines are under construction. The main urban areas have good transport using buses, trolleybuses and trams. Cities also have extensive metros. | |||
