The Free Land of Vikarnia is a small, safe nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The democratic, devout population of 45 million Vikarnes are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 45.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Vikarne economy, worth 1.12 trillion Vikarnoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,885 Vikarnoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vikarnia's national animal is the Jaguar.
Vikarnia is ranked 311,082nd in the world and 3,052nd in the South Pacific for Largest Populations, with 45.0 million capita.
