“What Is Worth It Is Inevidable”

The Dominion of Verendia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by LeFoule Family Lineage with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 1.346 billion Verendians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sau'ne. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Verendian economy, worth 84.5 trillion verdans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 62,799 verdans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, people make a career out of medical voyeurism, refugees from other nations are flocking to Verendia's border, and those found guilty of illicit affairs are jailed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verendia's national animal is the dormouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Verendia is ranked 57,977^th in the world and 1,232^nd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 129.66 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
