The Freeroaming Folks of Vicken is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Vixen Queene Laniel with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, anti-smoking policies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.841 billion Vickenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingfisher Town. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vickenian economy, worth 686 trillion Jots a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 178,742 Jots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, a government program is underway to revitalize Vicken's beaches, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vicken's national animal is the kingfisher, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Animism.

Vicken is ranked 3,958^th in the world and 125^th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 140.24 quips per hour.
