The Commonwealth of Veneite is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 111 million Veneions have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Veneitean economy, worth 7.20 trillion weptishes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 64,839 weptishes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, Veneions incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Veneite's national animal is the Greenland shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Veneite is ranked 55,444^th in the world and 114^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Highest Poor Incomes, with 51,470.22 Standard Monetary Units.
