The Principality of Veritas is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lacum Magister with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.548 billion Veritasians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vosti. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Veritasian economy, worth 321 trillion Coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,500 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, loss of the ability to speak is a common affliction of the elderly, molehills are the only mountains deemed safe enough for the public, and stun grenade flashes and assault weapon fire form the expected nocturnal soundscape of Veritas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Veritas's national animal is the Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bloodstone Worship.

Veritas is ranked 23,489^th in the world and 586^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
