The Bothriechis schlegelii of Eyelash Viper is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 2.364 billion Eyelash Viperians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Eyelash Viperian economy, worth 116 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,070 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, sleazy politicians exploit the Parliamentary Code of Conduct to purge their rivals, the only Maxxmas gift frontline troops receive from officers is a bullet with the enemy's name on it, and male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eyelash Viper's national animal is the horse.

Eyelash Viper is ranked 169,354th in the world and 18th in Biodiversity for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
