The Free Land of Viero is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Great Father with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, fear of technology, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.741 billion Vieroans 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stark. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vieroan economy, worth 732 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 195,782 florins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,468,365 per year while the poor average 7,532, a ratio of 194 to 1.

Vieroans firmly believe that their heroes never farted or popped their pimples, global warming is heating up, citizens rise at daybreak every day for mandatory exercise, and schoolchildren quote interesting facts about the square of the hypotenuse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Viero's national animal is the rhino, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Grand Patriarchy.

Viero is ranked 296,252^nd in the world and 598^th in Communitas for Most Cultured, scoring 49 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
