The Colourful Land of Viridiann

“Life's a party and I'm the Piñata.”

The Colourful Land of Viridiann is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by some nerd with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.634 billion Sylvaneth hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alethkar. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Virese economy, worth a remarkable 1,264 trillion gems a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 190,675 gems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Bars are packed at all hours, posh kids don't look down on the poor any more, the Violet Mile now refers to the long line-ups that former death row inmates wait in as they transfer to maximum security prisons, and parents often leave their kids in the car while they attend mindfulness meditation sessions. Crime is totally unknown. Viridiann's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Julianism.

Viridiann is ranked 33,348^th in the world and 1,596^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.3 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
