The Empire of Veremur is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Damien Koschei with an iron fist, and remarkable for its feral children, unlimited-speed roads, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 34.719 billion Veremurians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Spirituality and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Education are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sang City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Veremurian economy, worth an astonishing 16,994 trillion Koscheis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 489,484 Koscheis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,216,747 per year while the poor average 29,060, a ratio of 110 to 1.

The nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Damien Koschei in ermine and velvet garb, weather reports simply advise Veremurians to 'look outside', foreign governments regularly accuse the Veremurian military of war crimes, and the government prefers to leave the past buried. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Veremur's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Koscheism.

Veremur is ranked 11,473rd in the world and 2nd in Sol III for Most Stationary, with 2,138.9171727588 days.
