The Federal Republic of Vilbonde is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Executive Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 15.092 billion Vilbondeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Founder's Bay. The average income tax rate is 17.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vilbondean economy, worth a remarkable 2,177 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,284 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime is totally unknown. Vilbonde's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vilbonde is ranked 266,087^th in the world and 4,970^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
