The Federation of Veradine is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The United Veradine Assembly with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.667 billion Veradi love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lightsbridge. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Veradi economy, worth a remarkable 1,293 trillion Veradi Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 168,697 Veradi Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Money grows on trees, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, and towns are often run by puppets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Veradine's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Veradine is ranked 2,587^th in the world and 7^th in Gay for Lowest Crime Rates, with 135.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
