The Popular Republic of Virdmar is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.066 billion Virds 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karan Kyeol. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Virdish economy, worth 928 trillion Shivels 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 183,229 Shivels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, and government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary. Crime is totally unknown. Virdmar's national animal is the Swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Virdmar is ranked 15,681^st in the world and 433^rd in The Communist Bloc for Most Income Equality, scoring 83.98 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
