The Fiefdom of Vliwh is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Cabdullaahi Estévez with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.802 billion Vliwhians 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 government prioritizes Law & Order, although Administration, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Janros. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.7%.

The powerhouse Vliwhian economy, worth a remarkable 1,581 trillion Ososohs 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. 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 88,858 Ososohs, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Vliwh recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, bemused schoolkids colour in their favourite quadratic equations with crayons, and expectant parents view twins with equal parts joy and suspicion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vliwh's national animal is the honeybee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Vliwh is ranked 49,742nd in the world and 56th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,827.52 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
