The Rogue Nation of South Venison is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Todd Howard with an even hand, and notable for its lack of airports, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 1.174 billion South Venisonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gallifrey. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient South Venisonian economy, worth 124 trillion Caps a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,015 Caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests, and parents dread their examinations more than their children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Venison's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Gombligernicampoikananity.

South Venison is ranked 28,040th in the world and 652nd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 229.56 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
