The Kingdom of Vaskeden is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Regina Oslin with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.263 billion Vaskishes 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 Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alesund. The average income tax rate is 64.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vaskedenian economy, worth 540 trillion Roras a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,270 Roras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Regina Oslin is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, and armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough. 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 Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Halrym.

Vaskeden is ranked 32,243^rd in the world and 826^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
