The Republic of Venetoland is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Eddie Sheng with an even hand, and notable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.309 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thomasville. The average income tax rate is 100%. A robust private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The nation's massive battleships are often mistaken for islands, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venetoland's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the veneto.

Venetoland is ranked 508th in Europe and 101,105th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -59 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
