The Republic of Vilistat is a small, safe nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 20 million Vilistatians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.4%.

The strong Vilistatian economy, worth 1.12 trillion Niestas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,809 Niestas, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, girls who wear lipstick are berated for pandering to male gazes, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and small shoes often wash up on the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vilistat's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vilistat is ranked 124,471^st in the world and 147^th in Eurth for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
