OverviewDispatchesPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Grand Duchy of Vivanco is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Petrio Raimundo III with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.752 billion Vivanquians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Petria. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Vivanquian economy, worth a remarkable 2,102 trillion Repuroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 164,870 Repuroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, the national colors help to make everyone look slimmer, and the government funds large training centres to turn boars into functioning members of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vivanco's national animal is the boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of the Lady.

Vivanco is ranked 4,032nd in the world and 176th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 187 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
