The Theocracy of Venichimore is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.888 billion Venichimoreans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.1%.

The very strong Venichimorean economy, worth 176 trillion Venibucks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 61,051 Venibucks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 198,751 per year while the poor average 14,123, a ratio of 14.1 to 1.

Members of ethnic minorities are more often called "boy" or "girl" than by their actual names, the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", teenagers get their license without taking the test, and reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venichimore's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Venichimore is ranked 285,614^th in the world and 539^th in Lair of the Dragons for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 35.34 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
