The Republic of New Vivia And is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Tim with an iron fist, and notable for its lack of airports, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.152 billion New Vivia Andians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yogurt. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient New Vivia Andian economy, worth a remarkable 2,780 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 211,426 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 785,800 per year while the poor average 39,971, a ratio of 19.7 to 1.

From the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in New Vivia And, noble feuds don't end until one side gets their point across, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vivia And's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Fire dancing.

New Vivia And is ranked 140,378th in the world and 47th in The Free Nations Region for Most Pro-Market, scoring 48 on the Rand Index.
