The Federal Republic of Vilbonde is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the Executive Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 15.057 billion Vilbondeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Founder's Bay. The average income tax rate is 17.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vilbondean economy, worth a remarkable 2,165 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 143,808 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside. Crime is totally unknown. Vilbonde's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vilbonde is ranked 85,998^th in the world and 1,343^rd in the South Pacific for Most Armed, with 0.55 weapons per person.
