The Kingdom of Vredan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.84 billion Vredanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duromberg. The average income tax rate is 50.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Vredanian economy, worth 114 trillion Gervals a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,430 Gervals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Vredanian bee, hell is not always other people, the military struggles with recruitment, and playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vredan's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vredan is ranked 209,144th in the world and 2nd in Versy for Most Pacifist, with 45.5 cheeks turned per day.
