The Kingdom of Verennia is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 554 million verennians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crownspire. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.6%.

The frighteningly efficient verennian economy, worth 63.8 trillion verennian crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 115,139 verennian crowns, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Companies have begun running campaigns to stop people from remembering their brand name, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Verennia's national animal is the elk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Verennia is ranked 284,655^th in the world and 2,540^th in the South Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 35.4 billion Standard Monetary Units.
