The Something of Virgolia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Dictator with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, ritual sacrifices, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.219 billion Virgolians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Virgolian economy, worth a remarkable 4,826 trillion Children a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing. 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 an amazing 430,176 Children, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Forecasts predict rains of loose lead and mortar shells for the next six weeks, military spending is on the increase, soldiers have a preference for fire-and-forget payloads, and toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Virgolia's national animal is the NS player, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Anger.

Virgolia is ranked 306,515th in the world and 5,843rd in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring -63 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
