The Marquisate of Vivanco is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Petrio Raimundo the III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.836 billion Vivanquians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Petria. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Vivanquian economy, worth 712 trillion Repuroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 147,269 Repuroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, and ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward. Crime 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 Cult of the Lady.

Vivanco is ranked 4,724^th in the world and 220^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 95.12 Effective Tax Rate.
