The Street Fighter of C Viper is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Maya with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.039 billion Viperians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of USA. The average income tax rate is 76.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Viperian economy, worth a remarkable 2,463 trillion dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 245,373 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. C Viper's national animal is the snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cards.

C Viper is ranked 11,123rd in the world and 9th in Karma for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,286.82 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
