The Empire of Virdalonja is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Friederik Hanover with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, conspicuous electricity pylons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 14.271 billion Virdalonjans 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, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, 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 Andros. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Virdalonjan economy, worth a remarkable 3,503 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 245,487 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Andros, all the playground's a stage for Virdalonjan schoolchildren, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and nose plugs are the latest Virdalonjan fashion accessory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Virdalonja's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Virdalonja is ranked 141,901^st in the world and 7,947^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 9.55 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
