The Dominion of Viperina is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Vipey McViper with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.368 billion Vipers 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuke Town. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Viper economy, worth a remarkable 1,683 trillion Vipers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 264,432 Vipers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 796,870 per year while the poor average 68,410, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

Politicians are fired for opening subjective statements with "I believe", residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, and economists claim no news is good news. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Viperina's national animal is the Unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Reformed Unicorns.

Viperina is ranked 145,284^th in the world and 4,347^th in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 433.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
