The Freeroaming Folks of Vicken is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Vixen Queene Laniel with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, infamous sell-swords, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.101 billion Vickenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kingfisher Town. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Vickenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,253 trillion Jots 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 278,181 Jots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Vickenian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, Vickenian athletes are close to breaking the 2 minute mile and the 16 meter long jump, and severed limbs litter woodland edges across the land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vicken's national animal is the kingfisher, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Animism.

Vicken is ranked 2,034^th in the world and 52^nd in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3,648.92 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
