The Allied States of Vhaskor is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its triple-decker prams, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 926 million Vhasks love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, although Welfare, Education, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unste Complexia. The average income tax rate is 45.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Vhaskorian economy, worth 45.6 trillion Vaskor Badtrs a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,273 Vaskor Badtrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, Unste Complexia's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and many marriages go virtually unconsummated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vhaskor's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vhaskor is ranked 62,178^th in the world and 163^rd in Carcassonne for Smartest Citizens, with 40.46 quips per hour.
