The Commonwealth of Vaidesordia is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 550 million Vaidesordians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 31.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vaidesordian economy, worth 47.6 trillion NUXES a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 86,466 NUXES, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Classes are regularly interrupted by drunken children, there's often a little nagging voice suggesting that parents aren't keeping their kids safe, tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, and religious bigotry is not allowed but bigotry against theism is encouraged. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vaidesordia's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vaidesordia is ranked 117,620^th in the world and 137^th in Kantrias for Safest, scoring 74.42 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
