The Eternal Vulcan Jedi Empire of Fort Verden is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Eternal Emperor Verner Von Richthofen with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 7.629 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 85.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Fort Verdenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,342 trillion Solar and Lunar Verdenii Holocrons a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 175,995 Solar and Lunar Verdenii Holocrons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

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 2,617^th in the world and 12^th in Texas for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 23,515.15 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
