The National Socialists of Verwis is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Militaris Alaric Victorum with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.097 billion Verwisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merano. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Verwisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,808 trillion Vers a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 441,404 Vers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, unemployed taxi drivers ironically use self-driving cabs to reach employment offices, the only thing slower than the economy is the exchange where it's managed, and netizens fiercely argue over who loves Militaris Alaric Victorum more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verwis's national animal is the Sparrow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Verwis is ranked 1,520th in the world and 2nd in 001 Alpha Prime for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 23,207.74 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
