The Freeroaming Folks of Vicken is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Vixen Queene Laniel with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.18 billion Vickenians 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingfisher Town. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Vickenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,292 trillion Jots 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 280,239 Jots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', the government has been criticized for giving away Vicken's territory to anyone who claims it, and police conduct raids on children having snail races. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vicken's national animal is the kingfisher, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Animism.
Vicken is ranked 1,459th in the world and 40th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 893.9 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
