The Kingdom of Vaughlack is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 56 million Vaughlackers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Vaughlackian economy, worth 2.82 trillion Soliduses a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 50,378 Soliduses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and the armed forces pride themselves on being conventional and predictable. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaughlack's national animal is the Anatosaura, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vaughlack is ranked 302,034^th in the world and 1,367^th in Europeia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -12.57 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
