The United Republic of Vikanias is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Sean OFearghal with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.434 billion Vikaniasians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Johns. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vikaniasian economy, worth 938 trillion Vikaniasian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,325 Vikaniasian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reporters sent to cover suspected UFO visits come back with stories about quilting bees, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, bowls of milk left on windowsills please fairies and passing cats alike, and President Sean OFearghal's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vikanias's national animal is the Caribou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Vikanias is ranked 245,425^th in the world and 1^st in GA IS DANK for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 18,146.01 Standard Monetary Units.
