The Queen's State of Vidal Baie is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 29.032 billion Vidal Baieans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Vidal Baiean economy, worth 113 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 3,913 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All industry is owned and run by the government, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, none has been named as Vidal Baie's national religion, and Vidal Baie has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vidal Baie's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Vidal Baie is ranked 250,859^th in the world and 8^th in United Kingdom Of Great Britain for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.75 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
