The Kingdom of Verlian is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its national health service, ban on automobiles, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 358 million Verlinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eldoria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.3%.

The strong Verlianian economy, worth 18.9 trillion Verlian Rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 52,863 Verlian Rubles, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Cows graze until the wolves come home, school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, and citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verlian's national animal is the Harp Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Verlian is ranked 105,257th in the world and 693rd in Europe for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 64 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
