The Allied States of Venom I is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Jack Vincent with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.741 billion Venomians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mediocreo. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Venomian economy, worth 663 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,914 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venom I's national animal is the King Cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Deism.

Venom I is ranked 26,121^st in the world and 1,527^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,164.96 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
