The Fourth Republic of Vrigny is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Anneliese Bow with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, humorless population of 10.566 billion Vrignyans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adleimen. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vrignyan economy, worth a remarkable 2,337 trillion Cernics a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 221,234 Cernics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Offering a builder a cup of tea is a legal minefield, graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Vrigny's radio stations, and no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vrigny's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Vrigny is ranked 298,496^th in the world and 3,669^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.69 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
