The Dubiously Watery Onion of Viriske is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Stem Viriske with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed population of 1.897 billion Viriskites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Main Stem. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Viriskean economy, worth 262 trillion Spores a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 138,571 Spores, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, public parks are littered with cigarette butts, and foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Viriske's national animal is the Pill Bug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is smth shroom related.

Viriske is ranked 31,922^nd in the world and 3^rd in Endless Highway for Highest Average Incomes, with 138,571.52 Standard Monetary Units.
