The National Socialists of Verwis is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Militaris Alaric Victorum with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.104 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 are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merano. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Verwisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,807 trillion Vers a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 440,338 Vers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, and the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only. 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 86,326th in the world and 10th in 001 Alpha Prime for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,456.27 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
