The Republic of Venardia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Reg Juliana de Lluïssà i Fabra with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 13.52 billion Venardians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Montserrat. The average income tax rate is 4.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Venardian economy, worth a remarkable 3,286 trillion Venardian florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 243,061 Venardian florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Women no longer need to pepper conversations with incessant references to fictitious husbands, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Venardia's national animal is the Hornero, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Occidental pantarism.

Venardia is ranked 272,270^th in the world and 36^th in Novo Brasil for Nicest Citizens, with 0.53 average smiles per day.
