The Great Duchy of Vivanco is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Petrio Raimundo III with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.002 billion Vivanquians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Petria. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Vivanquian economy, worth a remarkable 1,353 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 150,392 Repuroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, the Vivanco Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, and the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 165,758^th in the world and 7,764^th in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 52.03 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
