The Kingdom of Vussul is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Shah with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.997 billion Vussulis 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 relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catta. The average income tax rate is 11.1%.

The strong Vussulian economy, worth 179 trillion Tomen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,648 Tomen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Shah's bedroom, economists claim no news is good news, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vussul's national animal is the Nightingale, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vussul is ranked 103,536^th in the world and 1,738^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,676.24 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
