The Liberationist Union of United Vietussia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Arkady Albert Sokoloff with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, anti-smoking policies, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 21.787 billion Vietussians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hankow. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vietussian economy, worth a remarkable 3,871 trillion Moneypennies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 177,682 Moneypennies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 674,119 per year while the poor average 32,511, a ratio of 20.7 to 1.

Dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, behind every local dictator is a Vietussian advisor whispering in their ear, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves. Crime is totally unknown. United Vietussia's national animal is the Chupacabra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dryzaty.

United Vietussia is ranked 3,746^th in the world and 39^th in Europeia for Most Cultured, scoring 186 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
