The Something of Virgolia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Dictator with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, fear of technology, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.449 billion Virgolians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Virgolian economy, worth a remarkable 4,977 trillion Children 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, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing. 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 434,771 Children, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, a soldier's body is a temple, 90% of active duty VAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Virgolia's national animal is the NS player, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Anger.

Virgolia is ranked 287,580th in the world and 5,072nd in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -16.8 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
