The Empire of Verum Libertatem is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 1.045 billion Verum Libertatemians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beacon of the North. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Verum Libertatemian economy, worth 25.7 trillion Auras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 24,628 Auras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, international trade can be a pain to deal with, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, and visions of giant pink Lynxes are a common side effect after Verum Libertatemians eat their meals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verum Libertatem's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Verum Libertatem is ranked 176,133^rd in the world and 6,812^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 71.61 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
