The Holy Empire of Vasilinople is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Andronikos V with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 22.485 billion Vasilinopolians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vasilinople. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vasilinopolitan economy, worth a remarkable 5,535 trillion Hyperpyrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 246,191 Hyperpyrons, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, drug-related crimes carry the death penalty, artists are pillars of society, and new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vasilinople's national animal is the Eastern Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Vasilinople is ranked 12,761st in the world and 15th in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Stationary, with 1,974.47718772268 days.
