The Republic of Vasillios is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 185 million Vasillians 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Vasilliosian economy, worth 16.9 trillion Vasils a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,574 Vasils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, homophobia is off the menu, and students abandon classrooms for online education. Crime is totally unknown. Vasillios's national animal is the Canis Lupus, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Vasillios is ranked 81,516^th in the world and 57^th in Eladria for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,529.07 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
