The Democratic Republic of Vilje is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.074 billion Viljeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 31.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Viljean economy, worth 56.7 trillion dollulus a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,826 dollulus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, no one engages in 'locker room talk' any more, the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, and Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vilje's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vilje is ranked 76,523^rd in the world and 1,003^rd in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
