The Grand Republic of Versail is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Commandant Drummond with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.487 billion Versais are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oxsana. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Versailian economy, worth an astonishing 13,926 trillion Rubles 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an amazing 488,885 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone, using "inspect element" is grounds for espionage charges, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, and Versailian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Commandant Drummond. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Versail's national animal is the Brown Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Christian.

Versail is ranked 287,831^st in the world and 11,053^rd in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.04 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
