The Rat of Vikala is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Vikala with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.855 billion Vikalans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ratopolis. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Vikalan economy, worth a remarkable 2,595 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 293,063 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Vikala Pics" has made Vikala's mom a celebrity, dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, the government loves seeing the little people fight, and all the playground's a stage for Vikalan schoolchildren. Crime is totally unknown. Vikala's national animal is the rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Vikala is ranked 308,452nd in the world and 4,479th in Ambition for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 0.54 missed references per hour.
