The Community of Verdensa is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.026 billion Verdensans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Verdensan economy, worth 45.6 trillion Nugs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 44,431 Nugs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verdensa's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Verdensa is ranked 195,158^th in the world and 605^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 57.29 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
