The Federal Republic of Veretanasta is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Aśgkħnin Ćħarghynáktoqhan with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, soft-spoken computers, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.985 billion Veretanastans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ülśavek. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Veretanastan economy, worth a remarkable 1,142 trillion Veretanastan Vöttivécas 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 190,876 Veretanastan Vöttivécas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics, and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Veretanasta's national animal is the Jatunnüid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Veretanasta is ranked 12,678^th in the world and 150^th in The East Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 190,876.04 Standard Monetary Units.
