The Republic of Medieval Ville is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord James with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 28.13 billion Medieval Villeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Medieval Prime. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Medieval Villean economy, worth a remarkable 2,603 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,534 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, and internet sites are legally unable to stop their users from posting pornography. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Medieval Ville's national animal is the Beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Medieval Ville is ranked 290,937^th in the world and 11,247^th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
