The Most Serene Republic of Virdri is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.532 billion Virdrians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Welfare, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The very strong Virdrian economy, worth 355 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is 78,464 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 226,260 per year while the poor average 21,600, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Virdri's national animal is the lion.

Virdri is ranked 16,605^th in the world and 4^th in Nova Alterra for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 73,677.84 Standard Monetary Units.
