The Armed Republic of Versati is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 10 million Versatians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Versatian economy, worth 252 billion Notes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 25,203 Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political activists are routinely executed, government statistics suggest 115% of the population love Leader, the nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", and the best way to get the government to U-turn is to squick out Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Versati's national animal is the Red fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Versati is ranked 258,207^th in the world and 3,107^th in The East Pacific for Nudest, with 63 cheeks per square mile.
