The Holy Empire of Viridus is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Praetor Diros with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.231 billion Viridians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vittoria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Viridian economy, worth a remarkable 2,833 trillion Viridia Marks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 199,108 Viridia Marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders are advising that Praetor Diros's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, NationStates staff are easily recognizable by their gold-plated mansions, all artwork is carefully screened for offensive material, and party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Viridus's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Viridus is ranked 69,195th in the world and 3rd in Kartakis for Most Stationary, with 680.16999524648 days.
