The Republic of Viriona is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Aritka Ray with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.131 billion Virionans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Inos. The average income tax rate is 25.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Virionan economy, worth 315 trillion Rueons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 100,849 Rueons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, belief that Aritka Ray is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high, and thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency. Crime is almost non-existent. Viriona's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Viriona is ranked 15,841^st in the world and 111^th in Europeia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 74,830.36 Standard Monetary Units.
