The KINGDOM of VIPERMARTIAN is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Tamatsuki Akira with an iron fist, and notable for its vat-grown people, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.451 billion VIPERMARTIANians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of VIPERMARTIAN City. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient VIPERMARTIANian economy, worth an astonishing 19,770 trillion ZAMRI MONIES a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 843,073 ZAMRI MONIES, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The fate of the world literally rests on Tamatsuki Akira's fingers, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, kids feel more beat up than ever after a hard day at school, and illegal hunting is rife after veganism was recently made compulsory. Crime is totally unknown. VIPERMARTIAN's national animal is the Zorah Magdaros, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Secret.
VIPERMARTIAN is ranked 1,548th in the world and 2nd in The top 3 giant for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 14,623.46 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
