Republic of Vesta
The Republic of Vesta, commonly known as Vesta, is a Non-Legacy Nation within the Juno Reach, with its territory being composed of the Vesta Planetary System. It is the second-most populous nation in the Juno Reach after the United States of Juno. It is a Medium Power, a member of the League of Nations, and of the Non-Aligned Movement. It is characterized by its diverse cultural heritage, shaped first by its origins as a Colonial Republic, and later by its status as a Sanctuary World during the evacuation of Earth. A stellar republic modeled on the Commonwealth of Vega, Vesta has actively worked to position itself as the successor to leadership within the Pan-Solar Movement. Vesta is the largest economy in the Juno Reach, with key industries including agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and tourism.
