The Glorious Empire of Venkara is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sark Salazar with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.424 billion Venkarans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viqilam. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Venkaran economy, worth a remarkable 6,109 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 371,995 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, and many friends and relatives of Sark Salazar have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venkara's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Religious Freedom.
Venkara is ranked 294,469th in the world and 47th in Northern Utopia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
