The Mean and Curmudgeony Nation of Vile Villans is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed population of 17.985 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Villanosia. The average income tax rate is 96%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Prosecutors routinely call transplant doctors as 'expert witnesses' in burglary cases, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Vile Villans's radio stations. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vile Villans's national animal is the Kodiak, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Villanism, and its currency is the Pound.

Vile Villans is ranked 347th in Gatesville Inc and 112,784th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 8 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
