The Republic of Virtuon is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 307 million Virtuons 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.0%.

The strong Virtuonian economy, worth 24.0 trillion anyears a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,222 anyears, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, child shoplifters spend half their youth behind bars, politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', and the government violently suppresses separatist movements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Virtuon's national animal is the national animal of Virtuon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Virtuon is ranked 193,947^th in the world and 26^th in Regionless for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,210.98 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
