The Colonial Union of Vilita and Turori is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 21.109 billion Vilita and Turorians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alikki-Corra and Almintora. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Vilita and Turorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,748 trillion Golden Tures a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 130,185 Golden Tures, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, foragers descend on national cemeteries for 'all-you-can-dig-up' extravaganzas, customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vilita and Turori's national animal is the Eel-Cat Thing, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Vilita and Turori is ranked 162,537^th in the world and 147^th in Atlantian Oceania for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 469.06 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
