The Apostated State of Veruc is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Agesus Feverance with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.416 billion Verucians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asinya Fortress. The average income tax rate is 55.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Verucian economy, worth 177 trillion Vercas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 125,142 Vercas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, political debates are all but a distant memory, and pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Veruc's national animal is the Cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Veruc is ranked 73,792^nd in the world and 50^th in Eladria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,919.51 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
