The Republic of Vistulange is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Geir Solheim with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 30.651 billion Vistulangeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravnensby. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Vistulangean economy, worth a remarkable 6,832 trillion kroner a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 222,916 kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is something rotten in the state of Vistulange, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, and a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vistulange's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Artarumen Christianity.

Vistulange is ranked 299,910^th in the world and 2^nd in Aeterna for Fattest Citizens, with 4.62 Obesity Rate.
