The -Cake Island Colony of Vipe is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.715 billion Vipeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The strong Vipean economy, worth 146 trillion vipes a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 39,427 vipes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,112 per year while the poor average 2,471, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Vipe's national animal is the vipe, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Vipe is ranked 262,741^st in the world and 9^th in oliver for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 12.25 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
