The Rogue Nation of Verwandeln is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 330 million Verwandelnians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 10.8%.

The thriving Verwandelnian economy, worth 25.8 trillion valutas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,293 valutas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, constipated disaster survivors are rapidly learning that MRE is short for "Meal Requiring Enemas", a soldier's body is a temple, and people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Verwandeln's national animal is the alligator, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Verwandeln is ranked 237,551^st in the world and 148^th in Quarantine Zone for Largest Populations, with 330 million capita.
