The Kingdom of Venecolza is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, aversion to nipples, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 240 million Venecos 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 32.3%.

The thriving Veneco economy, worth 22.2 trillion Baras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,312 Baras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

People regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed, citizens try to pass off bottlecaps they found in their backyards as historical artifacts, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and the newest shade developed by Venecolza's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venecolza's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Venecolza is ranked 56,651^st in the world and 874^th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 32.53 kickbacks per hour.
