The Federation of Veradine is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The United Veradine Assembly with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and digital currency. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.759 billion Veradi are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Veradi economy, worth a remarkable 1,327 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 171,060 Veradi Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Veradi Credit treacle machine, and doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia. 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 1,186^th in the world and 7^th in Gay for Safest, scoring 159.91 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
