The Colourful Land of Viridiann is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by some nerd with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 16.182 billion Sylvar live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, outspoken individuals prioritizes Administration, with International Aid, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrasil. Income tax is unheard of.

The all-consuming Virescent economy, worth a remarkable 2,765 trillion chips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 170,900 chips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, companies are literally blowing their competition out of the water, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, and terrified neighbors cower behind concertina wire and machine gun nests. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-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 205,676^th in the world and 3,887^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
