The Glorious Republic of Vipru is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Faxmulvos with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.414 billion Vipruans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dovestone. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vipruan economy, worth 641 trillion Vipran Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,544 Vipran Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, foreign leaders who don't applaud Faxmulvos's speeches are regarded as enemies of Vipru, and atheists on vacation find Christianity's scriptures make useful doorstops. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vipru's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Vipru is ranked 122,428^th in the world and 35^th in Kerbals of the North for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,440.91 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
