The Marquisate of Vivanco is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Petrio Raimundo the III with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.232 billion Vivanquians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Petria. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vivanquian economy, worth 295 trillion Repuroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,365 Repuroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, and citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vivanco's national animal is the boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Paganism.

Vivanco is ranked 5,209^th in the world and 254^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 58.65 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
