The Sovereign Imperium of Vikarion is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Imperator VeeKash with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.155 billion Vikarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vikers City. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Vikarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,201 trillion Veekans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 427,046 Veekans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Games of cops and robbers typically end in at least one fatal shooting, foreign nationals who stumble near Vikarion are harbingers of war, children grow up believing the sun to be a myth, and every computer glitch triggers an immediate counter-espionage response. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vikarion's national animal is the Godzilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Vikarism.

Vikarion is ranked 279,964th in the world and 85th in The Global Elite for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 21,779.4 Standard Monetary Units.
