The Kingdom of Vaskeden is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Regina Hartvigsen with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 9.893 billion Vaskedens 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 Healthcare, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alesund. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Vaskeden economy, worth 665 trillion Roras a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is 67,297 Roras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, shirts-versus-skins games are now skins-versus-skins games, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaskeden's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Halrym.

Vaskeden is ranked 304,194^th in the world and 4,891^st in The East Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.63 flags saluted per person per day.
