The Empire of Viva Utopia is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, parental licensing program, and ban on automobiles. The cynical population of 730 million Viva Utopians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Viva Utopian economy, worth 17.6 trillion Dabloons a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, extremely specialized black market in Book Publishing. 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 24,108 Dabloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.
Children seem to be getting better at lying these days, people across the world seek to be healthier by eliminating carbs, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, and teen parties are often ruined by wet blanket chaperones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Viva Utopia's national animal is the Finch, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Viva Utopia is ranked 91,277th in the world and 4,831st in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,251.7 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
