The Jerusalem Bells of Viva La Vida- is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.603 billion Viva La Vida-ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Viva La Vida-ian economy, worth 800 trillion vivas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,182 vivas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Governments opposing Viva La Vida- are beset by rebels, bureaucrats close new businesses for not complying with the Penguin Packaging Index, legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, and the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Viva La Vida-'s national animal is the vida, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Viva La Vida- is ranked 153,117^th in the world and 212^th in Stereo Hearts for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,529.15 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
