The Eternal Vulcan Jedi Empire of Fort Verden is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Eternal Emperor Verner Von Richthofen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.77 billion Fort Verdenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Verden. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Fort Verdenian economy, worth 117 trillion Solar and Lunar Verdenii Holocrons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,317 Solar and Lunar Verdenii Holocrons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, the Fort Verden Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region, and the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fort Verden's national animal is the Kelvin Timeline Tribble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jediism.

Fort Verden is ranked 117,792^nd in the world and 142^nd in Texas for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 56.5 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
