The Pickle Vic of Viciebskaja is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Wario with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, digital currency, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.755 billion Viciebskajans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warios Gold Mine. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Viciebskajan economy, worth a remarkable 2,210 trillion gold coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 252,441 gold coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 965,046 per year while the poor average 45,631, a ratio of 21.1 to 1.

Many believe that the only good capitalist cow is a dead capitalist cow, Wario is in a committed monogamous relationship with a huge number of people, whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, and AI citizens think only in binary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Viciebskaja's national animal is the capitalist cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Greed.

Viciebskaja is ranked 263,109^th in the world and 81^st in Callista for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -8.37 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
