The Eternal Vulcan Jedi Empire of Fort Verden is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Eternal Emperor Verner Von Richthofen with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.144 billion Fort Verdenians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Verden. The average income tax rate is 67.0%.

The powerhouse Fort Verdenian economy, worth 217 trillion Solar and Lunar Verdenii Holocrons 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. 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 69,136 Solar and Lunar Verdenii Holocrons, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in Fort Verden' is a smash hit, devotion to God is only skin-deep, some Fort Verdenians have nicknamed the monarch "Caligula", and park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 141,287^th in the world and 139^th in Texas for Most Extreme, scoring 9.81 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
