The Kingdom of Vaskeden is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Regina Hartvigsen with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and smutty television. The compassionate, devout population of 8.615 billion Vaskedens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alesund. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Vaskeden economy, worth 589 trillion Roras a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,470 Roras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, muggers are complimented on their enterprising spirit, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, and pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaskeden's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Halrym.

Vaskeden is ranked 40,400^th in the world and 817^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,171.67 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
