The Eternal Vulcan Jedi Empire of Fort Verden is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Eternal Emperor Verner Von Richthofen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, digital currency, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.427 billion Fort Verdenians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Verden. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Fort Verdenian economy, worth 64.6 trillion Solar and Lunar Verdenii Holocrons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,611 Solar and Lunar Verdenii Holocrons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, more citizens have access to Maxtopian Grass than clean drinking water, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, and nudity is frowned upon. 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 Pangolin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jediism.

Fort Verden is ranked 81,554^th in the world and 94^th in Texas for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 932.14 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
