The Colourful Land of Viridiann

“Don't need to know, don't want to know.”

The Colourful Land of Viridiann is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by some nerd with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 14.903 billion Sylvar hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrasil. The average income tax rate is 47.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Virescent economy, worth a remarkable 3,030 trillion chips a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 203,372 chips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. 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 43,300^th in the world and 1,326^th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 700.01 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
