The Colourful Land of Viridiann is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by some nerd with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.825 billion Sylvaneth hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alethkar. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Virese economy, worth a remarkable 1,305 trillion gems a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 191,216 gems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The Violet Mile now refers to the long line-ups that former death row inmates wait in as they transfer to maximum security prisons, parents often leave their kids in the car while they attend mindfulness meditation sessions, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, and snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center. Crime is totally unknown. Viridiann's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Julianism.

Viridiann is ranked 29,620^th in the world and 1,416^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 69.88 Effective Tax Rate.
