The Empire of Venomara is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.071 billion Venomarans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venomara city. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The powerhouse Venomaran economy, worth 88.9 trillion Arachnids a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 83,043 Arachnids, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,904 per year while the poor average 17,765, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Televisions are often seized to pay for overdue television license fees, people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, churches frequently hold public 'contraception burnings', and the Federal Council of Venomara has been announced as the new Head of State. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Venomara's national animal is the Spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Venomara is ranked 204,357^th in the world and 8,663^rd in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 1.07 billion capita.
