The Federal Republic of Vicosa is a tiny, cultured nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9 million Vicosans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Law & Order and Defense also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Vicosan economy, worth 702 billion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 78,020 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 293,233 per year while the poor average 14,491, a ratio of 20.2 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit and colonies are told they'll get their sovereignty back when they finish supper. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Vicosa's national animal is the Unicórnio , which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Vicosa is ranked 89,991^st in the world and 68^th in Corsair for Highest Average Incomes, with 78,020.3 Standard Monetary Units.
