The Pastoral States of Verdagiland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Pastor President Asari Kalvienn with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The democratic, devout population of 3.263 billion Verdagiladians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archiberg Balivat'aan. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Verdagiladian economy, worth 458 trillion Tereré Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,595 Tereré Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse, and children's TV shows are having a gay old time. Crime is totally unknown. Verdagiland's national animal is the Tokay Gecko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Confessional Protestantism.

Verdagiland is ranked 271,042^nd in the world and 9,758^th in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring -247.55 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
