The Capitalist Free Zone of Vilhala is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by President Jim Corvus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, deadly medical pandemics, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.042 billion Vilhalans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Citadel. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.4%.

The thriving Vilhalan economy, worth a remarkable 1,894 trillion McTickets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 145,273 McTickets, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,332,024 per year while the poor average 1,677, a ratio of 794 to 1.

Rare ecosystems are being ground into profit at a record pace, automotive regulators are throwing in the towel, only the richest get to see out of their windows, and a milk bath costs more than bathing in money. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vilhala's national animal is the flying laser camel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mormonism.

Vilhala is ranked 2,295th in the world and 2nd in Markion for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,801.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
