The Republic of Verminland is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its national health service, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 417 million Verminlandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, although Welfare, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Big Hill. The average income tax rate is 27.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Verminlandian economy, worth 39.9 trillion Vermin bucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,582 Vermin bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, former televangelists are often seen begging skateboarders for donations, citizens are spontaneously attracted to each other, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime is well under control. Verminland's national animal is the Vole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Verminland is ranked 34,557^th in the world and 906^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 52.62 quips per hour.
