The Multiversal Archempire of Vissium is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Archemperor Vis with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.476 billion Vissians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vissia. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vissian economy, worth 220 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 149,432 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rabbits are known to spontaneously explode without warning, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, and the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vissium's national animal is the Fire Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Vissium is ranked 244,302nd in the world and 5,731st in the Rejected Realms for Most Average, scoring 27.41 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
