The TA High Ambassador of Verona City is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Prince Escalus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.1 billion Veronans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verona. The average income tax rate is 22.0%.

The Veronan economy, worth 117 trillion Florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,844 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Prince Escalus has just been declared ruler of Verona City in an international press conference, the new Grand Inquisitor of Righteous Scientific Inquiry has ordered a surprising amount of hemlock, Love has been named as Verona City's national religion, and the request to "give us our daily bread" can only be fulfilled six days out of seven. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verona City's national animal is the a pair of star crossed lovers, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Love.

Verona City is ranked 168,382nd in the world and 2nd in Newlands Federative Coalition for Most Conservative, scoring 54.71 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
