The Democratic States of Virkan is a very large, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 123 million Virkanians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Virkanian economy, worth 7.32 trillion landoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 59,544 landoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Motorbike jousters live young and die fast, Leader's power is effectively nullified as no bill becomes law without the upper house's support, all streets are privately owned toll roads, and autopsies often involve only cursory examination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Virkan's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Virkan is ranked 85,380th in the world and 788th in the West Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 727 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
