The People's Republic of Vietanian is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by *Leader* with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.909 billion Vietnians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sai Long. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vietnian economy, worth 862 trillion Vitias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 175,617 Vitias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Vietnian Navy, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Vietanian, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vietanian's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vietanian is ranked 274,228^th in the world and 3,940^th in the Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.95 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
