The United Socialist States of Verde Limon is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 9.136 billion Verde Limonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Verde Limonian economy, worth 303 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,195 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verde Limon's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Verde Limon is ranked 131,483^rd in the world and 25^th in Oriental Constanta for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
