The Democratic Republic of Vilje is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.147 billion Viljeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Viljean economy, worth 60.3 trillion dollulus a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,600 dollulus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, the well-to-do in the West Pacific are never on time for important appointments, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, and Leader's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vilje's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vilje is ranked 49,448^th in the world and 632^nd in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 689.29 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
