The Progressive Theocracy of New Vipa is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Goddess Kima with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and enforced nudity. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.395 billion New Vipans 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Vipan economy, worth 209 trillion Bunyas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 87,373 Bunyas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, billions of Bunyas are being poured into a space program, and the government terminates employment with extreme prejudice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vipa's national animal is the Sea Bunny, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kamatalla.

New Vipa is ranked 78,972nd in the world and 92nd in Wintreath for Highest Average Incomes, with 87,373.27 Standard Monetary Units.
