The State of Viribus Videri is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 15.643 billion Viribians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Videri. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Viribian economy, worth a remarkable 1,709 trillion Viribian dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 109,313 Viribian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, foreign workers are flooding in as Viribian dollars flood out, murder is sanctioned if the legal paperwork is filled out correctly, and the love has gone in Viribus Videri. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Viribus Videri's national animal is the bald eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Viribus Videri is ranked 8,577^th in the world and 203^rd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 439.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
