The Kaiserreich of Vysaria is a massive, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.36 billion Vysarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.3%.

The Vysarian economy, worth 205 trillion Vysarichmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,034 Vysarichmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, it is customary to begin the summer with a fasting ritual in which people eat nothing but kumquat smoothies, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and burning members of the Order of Violet is the nation's favorite pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vysaria's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vysaria is ranked 268,875^th in the world and 62^nd in Saint Helene for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.17 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
