The Federal Republic of Vivolkha is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.04 billion Vivolkhans 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dævik. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vivolkhan economy, worth a remarkable 1,151 trillion Vivolkhan dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,705 Vivolkhan dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, coalition governments are essential to passing new laws, and neighboring nations are tired of Vivolkha's big fish stories. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vivolkha's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vivolkha is ranked 115,598^th in the world and 830^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 127,542 Standard Monetary Units.
