The Allied States of Vivereau is a very large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 267 million Vivereauans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The thriving Vivereauan economy, worth 24.5 trillion Proteomes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 91,637 Proteomes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 343,129 per year while the poor average 17,121, a ratio of 20.0 to 1.

Exports of live cows arrive pre-roasted, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Vivereau's new capital, and the atmosphere in Vivereauan boardrooms is turning more gay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vivereau's national animal is the Polecat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Vivereau is ranked 9,766^th in the world and 8^th in Eladria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,859.76 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
