The Principality of Vulles is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 219 million Vullesians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 39.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vullesian economy, worth 17.0 trillion vullas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 77,662 vullas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, and the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative. Crime is totally unknown. Vulles's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vulles is ranked 78,648^th in the world and 70^th in Refugia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 46,830.66 Standard Monetary Units.
