The Armed Republic of Virtrusia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Leon F Domitianus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.116 billion Virtrusians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virtrus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.6%.

The powerhouse Virtrusian economy, worth 107 trillion Virts a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,133 Virts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 312,199 per year while the poor average 22,319, a ratio of 14.0 to 1.

The government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, sweet-toothed Virtrusians have been left penniless by the VAT on candy, auditors are gutting every governmental department, and the revelation that people were sexist in the past is apparently front page news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Virtrusia's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Virtrusia is ranked 210,749^th in the world and 4,123^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -1.4 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
