The Protectorate of Vikorund is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by High Leader Chalcedony Lapis with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.601 billion Víkonaitur are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Environment, Law & Order, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while International Aid and Public Transport aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stóbaein u Kristal. The average income tax rate is 48.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Víko economy, worth 195 trillion lutis 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 a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. 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 54,318 lutis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's more than one way to skin a potato, pet owners are granted clemency from being ritually sacrificed, students are taught to count with all 9 fingers, and the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vikorund's national animal is the auébo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Elékt Runári.

Vikorund is ranked 66,500th in the world and 75th in Communitas for Highest Poor Incomes, with 44,679.6 Standard Monetary Units.
