Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United States of Venutia is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by President Huntley with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate population of 2.243 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venutiana. The average income tax rate is 82%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, airport security is provided by private companies, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venutia's national animal is the 9 Legged Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Venutian Credit.

Venutia is ranked 2,171st in The North Pacific and 51,821st in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.402 Stalins.
