The Republic of Versal is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.293 billion Versalians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The very strong Versalian economy, worth 276 trillion VNDS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 64,488 VNDS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 190,056 per year while the poor average 17,218, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Versal's national animal is the Versalian Owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Versal is ranked 203,472^nd in the world and 725^th in the Outback for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 656.13 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
