The Federation of Virifortis is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Marcos Cardoso with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.212 billion Virifortisians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Planápolis. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Virifortisian economy, worth 590 trillion Aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 140,147 Aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Marcos Cardoso has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, former weapons designers now boast about their non-jamming semi-automatic nail guns, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, and the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Virifortis's national animal is the Hyacinth Macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Virifortis is ranked 274,917th in the world and 5,128th in the South Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -276.39 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
