The Eternal Vulcan Jedi Empire of Fort Verden is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Eternal Emperor Verner Von Richthofen with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 9.683 billion Fort Verdenians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Verden. The average income tax rate is 89.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fort Verdenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,733 trillion Solar and Lunar Verdenii Holocrons a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 178,996 Solar and Lunar Verdenii Holocrons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maritime signalling has become tedious since only the Fort Verdenian flag can be displayed, minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, citizens are less concerned with policy and more concerned with whether politicians "call 'em like they see 'em", and soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes. Crime is totally unknown. 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 36,237^th in the world and 44^th in Texas for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 3,771.51 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
