The Empire of Veremur is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Damien Koschei with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 34.889 billion Veremurians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Spirituality and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Education aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sang City. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Veremurian economy, worth an astonishing 17,150 trillion Koscheis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 491,575 Koscheis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,275,536 per year while the poor average 28,043, a ratio of 116 to 1.
A nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, the teaching of evolution has been banned, the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, and public shaming has become the favoured form of punishment. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Veremur's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Koscheism.
Veremur is ranked 1,061st in the world and 2nd in Sol III for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 19,848.02 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
