The Republic of Vasillios is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 196 million Vasillians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 48.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vasilliosian economy, worth 18.3 trillion Vasils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,286 Vasils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, and where there's a will there is usually a password manager. Crime is totally unknown. Vasillios's national animal is the Canis Lupus, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Vasillios is ranked 27,936^th in the world and 44^th in Eladria for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,755.07 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
