The Most Serene Republic of Venezia Pacifica is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Enrico Dándolo with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.621 billion Veneziani enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venezia. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Venezian economy, worth a remarkable 1,382 trillion Grossoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 181,404 Grossoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, the nation is wading into dangerous waters, and dictionary sales have hit an all-time high. Crime is totally unknown. Venezia Pacifica's national animal is the Lion of Saint Mark, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Unitarianism.

Venezia Pacifica is ranked 1,164^th in the world and 26^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 78.41 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
