The Kingdom of Virias is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Harald with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 2.501 billion Viriasians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Höfuðborg. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Viriasian economy, worth 382 trillion Lyras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,856 Lyras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Virias's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Virias is ranked 25,601^st in the world and 281^st in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,028.33 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
