The Republic of Verdanie is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 629 million Verdanois live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The thriving Verdanois economy, worth 36.0 trillion pèsies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 57,195 pèsies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 202,453 per year while the poor average 11,666, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Verdanie's national animal is the jaguar, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Verdanie is ranked 62,767^th in the world and 291^st in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,211.22 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
