The Republic-Empire of Viscland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Bay with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.965 billion Visclanders enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Boxcester. The average income tax rate is 60.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Visclandian economy, worth 915 trillion Viscland Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,556 Viscland Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Real chickens replace rooster weather vanes on inner-city rooftop gardens, behind every local dictator is a Visclandian advisor whispering in their ear, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and citizens must pay to enjoy Viscland's pristine beaches. Crime is totally unknown. Viscland's national animal is the European Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Viscland is ranked 55,436^th in the world and 302^nd in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 33.76 kickbacks per hour.
