The Dangerously Treed Republic of Viderban is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kiril Iliev with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 3.401 billion Viderbanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mir. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Viderbanian economy, worth 340 trillion Daskas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,156 Daskas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Claims adjusters are uselessly vague, spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Viderban's national animal is the Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Viderban is ranked 9,548^th in the world and 148^th in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,432.32 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
