The Rogue Nation of Central Venus is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Toffali with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 6.638 billion Central Venusians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central City. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Central Venusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,131 trillion Bloods 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Retail. 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 an impressive 170,416 Bloods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

There's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building, firebombing politicians' offices has become a common way of expressing dissatisfaction, vehicular manslaughter is apparently a victimless crime, and a mushroom a day keeps the sadness away. Crime is well under control. Central Venus's national animal is the Venus Flytrap, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Central Venus is ranked 172,521^st in the world and 4,239^th in Suspicious for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
