The Empire of Verandian is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 26 million Verandianians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 8.4%.

The Verandianian economy, worth 1.79 trillion Verandian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 69,000 Verandian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, the statue in the O Plaza has a solar panel for a hat, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Verandian's national animal is the Verandian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Verandian is ranked 104,233^rd in the world and 74^th in Lonia Kreptia Llor for Highest Average Incomes, with 69,000.61 Standard Monetary Units.
