The Republic of Medieval Ville is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord James with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 28.167 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 2,607 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 92,575 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

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, internet sites are legally unable to stop their users from posting pornography, and talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses. 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 288,741^st in the world and 11,194^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -20.78 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
