The Federal Republic of Vichnaya is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Andrei Yazov with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.086 billion Vichnayans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orlova. The average income tax rate is 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vichnayan economy, worth 652 trillion Aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,572 Aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People's charity begins and ends at home, it's rare to find an unchewed pencil, foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Vichnayan bee, and the 3rd Airborne Beekeepers are the most feared regiment in the Vichnayan military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vichnaya's national animal is the Adak Kestrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Adaki Astrotheology.

Vichnaya is ranked 10,107^th in the world and 4^th in Lyceni for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
