The Empire of Verensal is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 480 million Verensalians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.6%.

The strong Verensalian economy, worth 36.1 trillion Рубльs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,240 Рубльs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Girls in elementary school classes gaze longingly at boys playing tag, a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Verensalian language, and justice is available only to those who can afford its price tag. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Verensal's national animal is the Орел, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Verensal is ranked 227,189^th in the world and 9,326^th in Lazarus for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 14.63 Effective Tax Rate.
