The High Kingdom of Vyladylande is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by High King Polo I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.375 billion Vyladylandians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Donovan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Vyladylandean economy, worth a remarkable 1,202 trillion Rudniks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 188,699 Rudniks, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.
Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds, nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, tourists call Vyladylandean beach towns "the fine coastline", and newspapers cannot report anything about politicians without their explicit consent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vyladylande's national animal is the Moonstone Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Chelonianism.
Vyladylande is ranked 54,097th in the world and 593rd in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
