The Serenissimus Republique of Venovica is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Executive Director Kiki Soto with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.076 billion Venovics hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 35.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Venovican economy, worth 135 trillion Valoras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 125,481 Valoras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers, constipated-looking politicians are uptight about potty mouths, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, and lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work. Crime is almost non-existent. Venovica's national animal is the Peacock, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Venovica is ranked 11,420^th in the world and 98^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 54.3 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
