The People's Republic of Vicotis Kor is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Asif Amen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.136 billion Vicotisi are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vicotis. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vicotisi economy, worth 743 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,120 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens need to demonstrate a complete set of dental records to throw five bucks in a hobo's hat, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, you can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, and the lasting legacy of the current generation is a million years of buried radioactivity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vicotis Kor's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vicotis Kor is ranked 28,272^nd in the world and 74^th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Patriotic, with 44.51 flags saluted per person per day.
