The Republic of Virideth is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 40 million Viridians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 49.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Vireth economy, worth 1.59 trillion Viras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,825 Viras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, ghost regiments exist only on paper, and Leader spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Virideth's national animal is the Wooleren Beast.

Virideth is ranked 183,640^th in the world and 362^nd in Europe for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -2 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
