The Republic of Veralann

“Live for what you desire most.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Veralann is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Rina Avery with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.063 billion Veralannians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veralann City. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Veralannian economy, worth 878 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 67,230 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, Rina Avery is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, and the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Veralann's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Veralann is ranked 262,877^th in the world and 6,690^th in Lazarus for Largest Retail Industry, scoring -17.75 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
