The Isle of Vesly is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 17.297 billion Avalonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.6%.

The strong Avalonic economy, worth 802 trillion drakes a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,414 drakes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 131,572 per year while the poor average 13,085, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Avalonic politicians, it's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, nobody knows why the caged dragon sings, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vesly's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vesly is ranked 60,573^rd in the world and 2^nd in Lennart for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 4,389.64 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
