The Democratic People's Republic of Vitorianiania is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Julio with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 985 million Vitorianianians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Julia. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vitorianianian economy, worth 107 trillion vouchers 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, 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 an impressive 108,857 vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Everyone apparently sends Julio hair-filled lockets, offers to die heroically, and poetic desires to co-parent a child, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, builders across Vitorianiania are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and tourists visiting the nation are warned not to drink local tap water. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vitorianiania's national animal is the slug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vitorianiania is ranked 275,686th in the world and 264th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -6.26 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
