The Federation of Verwis is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Militaris Alaric Victorum with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, zero percent divorce rate, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.253 billion Verwisians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merano. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Verwisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,118 trillion Vers a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 553,168 Vers, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

The smallest Verwisian towns can be seen from space, brain-freeze has taken on a new meaning, corrupt officials have adopted the greater good as their catchphrase, and the sound of silence from abandoned Violetist temples is deafening. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verwis's national animal is the Sparrow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Verwis is ranked 76,842^nd in the world and 253^rd in 10000 Islands for Largest Populations, with 9.25 billion capita.
