The Colourful Land of Viridiann is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by some nerd with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.737 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 Healthcare, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrasil. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Virese economy, worth a remarkable 1,598 trillion golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 182,973 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lending money has become a major liability, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, and sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming. 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 4,325^th in the world and 260^th in The North Pacific for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 42,692.24 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
