The Freeroaming Folks of Vicken is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vixen Queene Laniel with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.354 billion Vickenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingfisher Town. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Vickenian economy, worth a remarkable 5,231 trillion Jots a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 391,765 Jots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Board shorts have replaced board rooms, the Vickenian government is the world's largest NGO, jail house rock has been replaced with jail house golden oldies, and the official Vickenian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vicken's national animal is the kingfisher, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Animism.

Vicken is ranked 311,830^th in the world and 3,936^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
