The Republic of Vitriol is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, rampant corporate plagiarism, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.938 billion Vitriolians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Vitriolian economy, worth 190 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 98,110 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

All restaurants close before dinner time, foreign governments regularly accuse the Vitriolian military of war crimes, firebombing politicians' offices has become a common way of expressing dissatisfaction, and Leader's power is effectively nullified as no bill becomes law without the upper house's support. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vitriol's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Vitriol is ranked 123,365^th in the world and 2^nd in Spite and Vitriol for Most Authoritarian, with 834.23 milliStalins.
