The Armed Republic of La Vitica is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Maharajah with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.119 billion La Viticans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virtuti. The average income tax rate is 31.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient La Vitican economy, worth 340 trillion Vitican Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 160,597 Vitican Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Self-driving cars occasionally mow down pedestrians to avoid inconveniencing passengers, drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, and the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. La Vitica's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

La Vitica is ranked 22,941^st in the world and 1,225^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 80.5 on the Human Development Index.
