The Kingdom of Vasyrod is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 115 million Vasyrodians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings." The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
