The Republic of Veris Islands is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mister President with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 10.475 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, although Industry, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adelaide. The average income tax rate is 12.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Verisian economy, worth a remarkable 3,869 trillion Verisian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 369,384 Verisian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, lonely people are supposed to be cheered up by the many parties that they are never invited to, and leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks. 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 39,124^th in the world and 1^st in Veris Administrative Region for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
