The Republic of Vilajimeia is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 10.375 billion Vilajimeians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Vilajimeian economy, worth 220 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,273 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, military spending recently hit a new high, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vilajimeia's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vilajimeia is ranked 267,155^th in the world and 2,906^th in The catholic military orders for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -7.07 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
