The National Socialists of Verwis is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Militaris Alaric Victorum with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.109 billion Verwisians 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 prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merano. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Verwisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,808 trillion Vers a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 440,179 Vers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, and there's no weight to modern politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verwis's national animal is the Sparrow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Verwis is ranked 288,705^th in the world and 68^th in 001 Alpha Prime for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2.74 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
