The Kingdom of Vilender is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Haemus II Athanasiadis with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 6.125 billion Vilenderians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atreum. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vilenderian economy, worth 662 trillion Crons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,165 Crons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, street cleaners are noticeably glum during jubilee celebrations, and the welfare administration's new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vilender's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vilender is ranked 150,012^th in the world and 2,394^th in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,744.37 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
