The Federal Republic of Verasitium is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The democratic, devout population of 338 million Verasitians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Verasitiumian economy, worth 19.4 trillion Concyoins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,360 Concyoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, the arms industry is strictly regulated, the Verasitiumian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", and prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verasitium's national animal is the cyat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Verasitium is ranked 13,687^th in the world and 104^th in Refugia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,495.64 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
