The Colony of V33 is a titanic, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 15.395 billion V33ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 13.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient V33ian economy, worth 639 trillion Citas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,563 Citas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. V33's national animal is the Vippertooth Dragon.

V33 is ranked 70,874^th in the world and 1^st in Vippertooth33 for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
