The Republic of Veritosia is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 911 million Veritosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Veritosian economy, worth 135 trillion Aleths a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,215 Aleths, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

A weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, and Leader can cry on demand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Veritosia's national animal is the Ibex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Veritosia is ranked 69,447^th in the world and 351^st in Europeia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,472.28 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
