The Holy Regency of Vichtander is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Regency Synod with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, fear of technology, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.754 billion Vichtricians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tallanrìgh. The average income tax rate is 15.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vichtrician economy, worth a remarkable 4,245 trillion VDS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,676 VDS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Goldfish are really living up to their name, farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, and news headlines suggest that The Regency Synod has a sideline in guinea pig pimping. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Vichtander's national animal is the Highland Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is North American Orthodox Church.

Vichtander is ranked 69,451^st in the world and 2^nd in The Confederation for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 138.36 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
