The Kingdom of Versuria is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12 million Versurians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.7%.

The Versurian economy, worth 559 billion V$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 46,596 V$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Posing for pictures is an integral part of military training, children must make a homemade spinach and ricotta rotolo by high school or be held back, the Versuria City Film Festival recently voted 'Versurian Getting Hit By Football' as best film, and bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. Versuria's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Versuria is ranked 70,365^th in the world and 3^rd in The Cuckoos Egg for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,026.81 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
