The United States of Vitorosa is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, lack of airports, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 676 million Vitorosans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Environment, Spirituality, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Welfare and Law & Order receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Vitorosan economy, worth 53.5 trillion Coins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 79,166 Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 262,191 per year while the poor average 17,855, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

School uniforms are compulsory, government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, and martial law has been declared and the populace is kept under tight control. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vitorosa's national animal is the Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Vitorosa is ranked 298,173^rd in the world and 815^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Secular, with 6.5 Atheism Rate.
