The government of V.F.D. is a council of elders, who all wear odd looking crow hats on their heads. The council has made thousands of rules, which are described as "insane" throughout the book, and many of which are "contradictory" according to Klaus Baudelaire , who stays up all night studying them. For example:

  • No mechanical devices

  • The only pens that may be used are pens made of crow feathers

  • Residents may not make things out of crows

  • The village library may not include any books that break any of the other rules (For instance, if somebody in a book uses a mechanical device, that book is not allowed)


All the rules have numbers (Rule #201: No murdering, Rule #1: No-one may hurt a crow). Anyone who breaks rules in V.F.D. is burned at the stake.

The city is called "Village of Fowl Devotees" because the entire village is devoted to crows. There are crows all over V.F.D., which roost downtown in the morning, uptown in the afternoon, and then all fly to a gigantic tree known as Nevermore Tree at night.

Features of the uptown include Town Hall and the nearby Fowl Fountain, which was built by Count Olaf to trap the Quagmires. Unknown to many, the fountain has a hidden mechanism in its eye, allowing the beak to open so at least two human-sized objects can be placed inside. Another feature is the Uptown Jail. The Deluxe Cell is the filthiest cell in it.
