The Kingdom of Vaskeden is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 563 million Vaskenese enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alesund. The average income tax rate is 31.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Vaskedenian economy, worth 37.6 trillion Roras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,698 Roras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, internet service is too costly for normal people to purchase, and burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vaskeden's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vaskeden is ranked 125,164^th in the world and 4,807^th in The East Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 56.22 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
