The State of VI is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.254 billion VIians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The very strong VIian economy, worth 811 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 66,240 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 426,924 per year while the poor average 4,152, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry and VI has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. VI's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

VI is ranked 287,064^th in the world and 190^th in Omega Prime for Lowest Crime Rates, with 36.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
