The Grumpy Grinch of Vishizzia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Juan Rodriguez with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, anti-smoking policies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.015 billion Vishians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buenos Aires. The average income tax rate is 77.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Vishizzian economy, worth 618 trillion Rondles a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 205,273 Rondles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, Juan Rodriguez's new political program is often mockingly called 'Capitalism with a Bigtopian face', family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off, and peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vishizzia's national animal is the Robin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Vishizzia is ranked 16,872nd in the world and 3rd in The Order of Corinth for Most Secular, with 72.83 Atheism Rate.
