The Federal Republic of Vikslandia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Susanna Korpela with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 13.737 billion Vikslandians 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, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsinki. The average income tax rate is 53.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Vikslandian economy, worth 62.8 trillion Markkaa a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 4,571 Markkaa, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
There has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, birth rates have hit an all-time low, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, and the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vikslandia's national animal is the Wolf and its national religion is Protestantism.
Vikslandia is ranked 18,555th in the world and 10th in Greater Middle East for Most Primitive, scoring 81.85 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
