The Dictatorship of Vidaria is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, vat-grown people, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 715 million Vidarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Vidarian economy, worth 16.6 trillion khanits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 23,177 khanits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The world outside is only known of in folklore, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, and Vidaria has designated Vidaria City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vidaria's national animal is the peacock mantis shrimp, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Vidaria is ranked 46,892^nd in the world and 540^th in the West Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 68.84 Effective Tax Rate.
