The Socialist State of Venatriya is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.748 billion Venatrians 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rön-del. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Venatriyan economy, worth 623 trillion viras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 131,389 viras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, and minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venatriya's national animal is the wolf spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Venatriya is ranked 1,983^rd in the world and 9^th in The Internationale for Safest, scoring 148.38 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
