The Republic of Veris Islands is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mister President with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 10.374 billion Verisians 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 relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adelaide. The average income tax rate is 15.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Verisian economy, worth a remarkable 3,817 trillion Verisian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 367,999 Verisian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Verisian Navy. Crime is totally unknown. Veris Islands's national animal is the Verisian Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Veris Islands is ranked 16,312th in the world and 1st in Veris Administrative Region for Most Stationary, with 1,744.63775843112 days.
