The Kingdom of Vaskeden is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Regina Hartvigsen with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 13.824 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alesund. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Vaskeden economy, worth a remarkable 1,023 trillion Roras a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 74,062 Roras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, the media seems excessively interested in what Regina Hartvigsen is wearing this season, water fights now end with thousands dead, and the government guarantees that tourists will have the ultimate trip on their trips. 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 Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Halrym.

Vaskeden is ranked 311,889^th in the world and 3,894^th in The East Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.9 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
