The People's Republic of Verenzia is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its smutty television, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.137 billion Verenzians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Verenzian economy, worth 111 trillion rens 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 97,984 rens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Royalist is the most offensive slur in the Verenzian language, mathematicians are hated by children across the country, umbrellas are back in fashion, and the official Verenzian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verenzia's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Verenzia is ranked 11,610^th in the world and 325^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,436.82 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
