The Rogue Nation of South Venison is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Todd Howard with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.155 billion South Venisonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gallifrey. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient South Venisonian economy, worth 120 trillion Caps a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,585 Caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', euthanasia is legal, and the army consists of only generals and grunts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Venison's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Gombligernicampoikananity.
South Venison is ranked 8,459th in the world and 239th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 56.53 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
