The Sovereign Imperium of Vikarion is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Imperator VeeKash with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, soft-spoken computers, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.063 billion Vikarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vikers City. The average income tax rate is 94.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vikarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,145 trillion Veekans 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 423,805 Veekans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, anti-government web sites are springing up, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, and the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vikarion's national animal is the Godzilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Vikarism.

Vikarion is ranked 249,319th in the world and 76th in The Global Elite for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 96.5 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
