The Colourful Land of Viridiann is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by some nerd with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 14.816 billion Sylvar hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Law & Order and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrasil. The average income tax rate is 47.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Virescent economy, worth a remarkable 3,004 trillion chips a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 202,786 chips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Corporate innovation has effectively ended since ideas can no longer be owned, nude art is becoming wildly popular, news headlines suggest that some nerd has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, and civil servants are no longer allowed to cross their t's. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Viridiann's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Julianism.

Viridiann is ranked 5,288^th in the world and 233^rd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 164 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
