The Dominion of Verkamp is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 5 million Verkampians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Verkampian economy, worth 119 billion denars a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,872 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verkamp's national animal is the bull.

Verkamp is ranked 266,709^th in the world and 96^th in Imperatus for Smartest Citizens, with 19.68 quips per hour.
