The State of Verendrye is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 17.709 billion Verendryeans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 19.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Verendryean economy, worth 621 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,105 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, and the only science is political science. Crime is well under control. Verendrye's national animal is the deer.
Verendrye is ranked 99,999th in the world and 5th in Winnipeg for Most Primitive, scoring -14.83 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
