The Freeroaming Folks of Vicken is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Vixen Queene Laniel with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.024 billion Vickenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

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 100.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Vickenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,223 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 277,068 Jots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Human pie shops continue to receive shipments of meat from Spleeny Rodd's, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, and hospitals in Vicken are too busy serving the needs of the South Pacific to see Vickenians. 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 991^st in the world and 24^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 172.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
