The Kingdom of Vasyrod is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 115 million Vasyrodians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Vasyrodian economy, worth 2.14 trillion Leis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 18,596 Leis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vasyrod's national animal is the European storm petrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
