The Holy Empire of Verunica is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 491 million Verunicans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Administration, Defense, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The thriving Verunican economy, worth 45.8 trillion Bredoes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 93,193 Bredoes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 419,842 per year while the poor average 12,750, a ratio of 32.9 to 1.

Daisy chain gangs plant flowers and pick up litter, maximum security Verunican subway stations inspire prison systems around the world, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, and citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. Verunica's national animal is the Silver fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Verunica is ranked 269,741^st in the world and 36^th in Wysteria for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -9.49 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
