The United Provinces of Nothark Vilum is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Hergonn Voelhr with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 9.643 billion Vilumians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Etterkadt. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Vilumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,672 trillion Okatts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 173,490 Okatts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Everything stops come summertime, diplomats expel enough hot air to cause forest fires, Vilumian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Hergonn Voelhr, and starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nothark Vilum's national animal is the Black Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nothark Vilum is ranked 9,881^st in the world and 1^st in Edris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 125,538.41 Standard Monetary Units.
