The Great Duchy of Vivanco is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Petrio Raimundo the 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 6.751 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, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Petria. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Vivanquian economy, worth a remarkable 1,004 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 148,815 Repuroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Proper policy proposals prerequire professional peer-reviewed papers, it takes a village to catch a criminal, billions of Repuroes are being blown on orbital weapons development, and Petrio Raimundo the III panders to nontraditional families. 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 53,230^th in the world and 2,049^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 17.37 Flags saluted per person per day.
