The Something of Virgolia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Dictator with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, anti-smoking policies, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.483 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, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda. 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 5,000 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 435,477 Children, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, the nation won three wars against Brancaland this weekend, and Virgolia is increasingly belligerent on the international stage. 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 324^th in the world and 4^th in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 24,629.8 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
