The Constitutional Republic of Fort Viorlia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Thomas Jefferson with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.591 billion Viorlians 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, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Svenioria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.1%.

The powerhouse Fort Viorlian economy, worth 166 trillion Brains a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,213 Brains, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Thomas Jefferson has taken to wearing medal-adorned military uniform in all public appearances, chocolate in Fort Viorlia has its flavour enhanced by the salty tears of enslaved factory workers, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, and nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more. Crime is totally unknown. Fort Viorlia's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fort Viorlia is ranked 170,373^rd in the world and 5^th in Friendly Pacifists for Largest Black Market, with 794 billion Standard Monetary Units.
