The Constitutional Monarchy of Violech is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 494 million Violechians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 21.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Violechian economy, worth 21.5 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,448 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, large areas of Violech are not accessible by the public, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Violech's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Violech is ranked 49,200^th in the world and 93^rd in Starlight for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,728.48 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
