The Third Social Alliance of Verben is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 16.699 billion Kyldellians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dianamon City. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Kyldellian economy, worth a remarkable 8,827 trillion Rubies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 528,645 Rubies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", the Verben Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', and the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Kyldellian Navy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verben's national animal is the Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Morvolox.
Verben is ranked 16,151st in the world and 13th in Kylden for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 16.02 Bank.
