The National Socialists of Verwis is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Militaris Alaric Victorum with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.145 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merano. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Verwisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,801 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 an amazing 434,608 Vers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Ill and injured visitors in Verwis have to walk it off until they return home, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site. 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 211,612^th in the world and 57^th in 001 Alpha Prime for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
