The Republic of New Vivia And is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Tim with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, compulsory vegetarianism, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.974 billion New Vivia Andians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yogurt. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient New Vivia Andian economy, worth a remarkable 3,068 trillion dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 219,594 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

All transmission towers have been temporarily diverted in order to establish dialogue with a comet, children playing with walkie-talkies are told to 'get a job', the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise Tim on New Vivia And's coulrophobia epidemic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vivia And's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Fire dancing.

New Vivia And is ranked 101,562nd in the world and 59th in The Free Nations Region for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
