The Republic of Vizykia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Pont Ustolfio the 500th with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 1.089 billion Vizykians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xichara. The average income tax rate is 67.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Vizykian economy, worth 128 trillion Yupios a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 118,181 Yupios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

The endangered saltwater humpback falcon is only seen in captivity programs, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality, and the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vizykia's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vizykia is ranked 66,149^th in the world and 83^rd in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 464.52 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
