The Kingdom of Vaskeden is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Regina Oslin with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.689 billion Vaskedishes enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alesund. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vaskedenian economy, worth 293 trillion Roras a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,662 Roras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, the weather in Alesund is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, and Regina Oslin's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaskeden's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vaskeden is ranked 241,534^th in the world and 9,209^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
