The Grand Republic of Versail is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Commandant Drummond with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, ban on automobiles, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.405 billion Versais 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oxsana. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Versailian economy, worth a remarkable 9,468 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 487,939 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Every school is receiving a brand new eraser, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Versais, mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Brown Bears and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, and student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Versail's national animal is the Brown Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Christian.

Versail is ranked 238,115^th in the world and 8,171^st in Lazarus for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens, with 29.2 Whatever.
