The Emirate of Ventro 6 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.953 billion Ventro 6ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.7%.

The very strong Ventro 6ian economy, worth 242 trillion Reeees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,191 Reeees, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them, women across the country are tying the knot, suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, and police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ventro 6's national animal is the Goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ventro 6 is ranked 179,802^nd in the world and 33^rd in Islands of Ventro for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -1.41 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
