We consider very constrained versions of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (VCMSSMs) which, in addition to constraining the scalar masses m{sub 0} and gaugino masses m{sub 1/2} to be universal at some input scale, impose relations between the trilinear and bilinear soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters A{sub 0} and B{sub 0}. These relations may be linear, as in simple minimal supergravity models, or nonlinear, as in the Giudice-Masiero mechanism for generating the Higgs-mixing {mu} term. We discuss the application of the electroweak vacuum conditions in VCMSSMs, which may be used to make a prediction for tan{beta} as a function of m{sub 0} and m{sub 1/2} that is usually unique. We baseline the discussion of the parameter spaces allowed in VCMSSMs by updating the parameter space allowed in the CMSSM for fixed values of tan{beta} with no relation between A{sub 0} and B{sub 0} assumed a priori, displaying contours of B{sub 0} for a fixed input value of A{sub 0}, incorporating the latest CDF/D0 measurement of m{sub t} and the latest BNL measurement of g{sub {mu}}-2. We emphasize that phenomenological studies of the CMSSM are frequently not applicable to specific VCMSSMs, notably those based on minimal supergravity, which require m{sub 0}=m{sub 3/2} as well as A{sub 0}=B{sub 0}+m{sub 0}. We then display (m{sub 1/2},m{sub 0}) planes for selected VCMSSMs, treating in a unified way the parameter regions where either a neutralino or the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle. In particular, we examine in detail the allowed parameter space for the Giudice-Masiero model.
