The Empire of Veridie is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Wolf population. The hard-working, democratic population of 20 million Veridieans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 25.8%.

The Veridiean economy, worth 902 billion Vespels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 45,119 Vespels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Veridie's national animal is the Wolf.

Veridie is ranked 165,427^th in the world and 3^rd in Nova Tero for Smartest Citizens, with 27.93 quips per hour.
