The Armed Republic of La Vitica is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The democratic, cheerful population of 5.641 billion La Viticans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vitica. The average income tax rate is 64.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient La Vitican economy, worth a remarkable 1,165 trillion Vitican Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,596 Vitican Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Time flies when you're not having fun, Leader is quite hard to get a hold of, card players are calling the government's bluff on anti-gambling legislation, and riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors. Crime is totally unknown. La Vitica's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

La Vitica is ranked 144,419^th in the world and 8,020^th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,148.43 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
