The Empire of Veritynista is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Gwenaël Cylaria with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.569 billion Veritynistans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Montauluçon. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Veritynistan economy, worth 161 trillion Lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 62,837 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, the rich tend their gardens inside gated urban farming communities, and the cycle of extinction and rebirth is never ending. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Veritynista's national animal is the Pangolin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cylarianism.

Veritynista is ranked 87,045^th in the world and 4,635^th in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,892.71 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
