The Sovereign Imperium of Vikarion is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Imperator VeeKash with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, avant-garde cinema, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.058 billion Vikarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vikers City. The average income tax rate is 94.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vikarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,141 trillion Veekans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 423,483 Veekans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', AI chatbots generate grayscale images when asked for a picture of the truth, and friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vikarion's national animal is the Godzilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Vikarism.

Vikarion is ranked 1,047th in the world and 2nd in The Global Elite for Highest Average Incomes, with 423,483.74 Standard Monetary Units.
