The People's Republic of Verasae is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 169 million Veris 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.7%.

The thriving Verian economy, worth 11.6 trillion Swas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 68,549 Swas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 329,247 per year while the poor average 8,331, a ratio of 39.5 to 1.

Home renovation shows are increasingly popular, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Verasae's national animal is the Green Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Verasae is ranked 228,571^st in the world and 4^th in Seraphim Palace for Highest Drug Use, scoring 73.54 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
