Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Visburgh is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Empress Vi with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.964 billion Visburghians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Schnee. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Visburghian economy, worth a remarkable 2,260 trillion Đồngs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 174,368 Đồngs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, Empress Vi's reputation is hard as nails, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, and citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Visburgh's national animal is the Unicorn but without horn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Visburgh is ranked 6,669^th in the world and 170^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 11,061.51 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
