The Republic of Vibein is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.032 billion Vibeinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 20.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Vibeinian economy, worth 49.5 trillion Vibeses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,007 Vibeses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy, returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion, the army employs a "shoot first, shoot later" policy, and they say that Leader's personal computer is full of naked pictures of the Emperor of Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vibein's national animal is the Viper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vibein is ranked 125,573^rd in the world and 5,976^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
