The Enlightened despotism of Latium un Veii is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Vilmos with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.104 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valde Urbs. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Book Publishing and Uranium Mining.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Valde Urbs Times is sold out, the dead are minced up and sold to people in burger form, the national Police Academies have dedicated infant wings, and the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event. Crime is totally unknown. Latium un Veii's national animal is the Phoenix , which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Cult of Vilmos, and its currency is the Tes.

Latium un Veii is ranked 238th in Europe and 65,386th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
