The Republic of Virifortis is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Antônio Cardoso with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, conspicuous electricity pylons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.505 billion Virifortisians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Planápolis. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Virifortisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,477 trillion Aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 155,485 Aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, the only crimes that get investigated are doughnut heists, hedge fund managers are diversifying into herbaceous borders, and the nation's smallest Jaguarball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Virifortis's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Virifortis is ranked 12,312^th in the world and 305^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 89.56 on the Human Development Index.
