The Kingdom of Verdelin is a huge, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 220 million Verdelinians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 23.0%.

The thriving Verdelinian economy, worth 15.9 trillion Verdant Deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 72,344 Verdant Deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, politicians look weirdly alike, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verdelin's national animal is the White Tailed Deer.

Verdelin is ranked 265,403^rd in the world and 158^th in The Western Isles for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -8.83 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
