The Serene Republic of Verelium is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Great Consul with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 3.406 billion Verelians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antiqua. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Vereliumian economy, worth 523 trillion Daxams a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,723 Daxams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The face of Great Consul is a permanent feature of the Antiqua skyline, feeling like a winner comes at a price, doctors prescribe medicines produced by the last pharmaceutical company to give them a free pen, and contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verelium's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Isis.

Verelium is ranked 273,088th in the world and 263rd in Karma for Most Stationary, with 9.32493847648 days.
