The Dominion of Viperina is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Vipey McViper with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 15.201 billion Vipers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuke Town. The average income tax rate is 4.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Viper economy, worth a remarkable 4,038 trillion Vipers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 265,680 Vipers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, the military is blowing up any threat to employment within the nation, and airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Viperina's national animal is the Unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Reformed Unicorns.

Viperina is ranked 14,748^th in the world and 32^nd in Europeia for Largest Black Market, with 289 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
