The Most Serene Republic of Venezia Pacifica is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Enrico Dándolo with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.642 billion Veneziani enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

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 1,388 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 181,732 Grossoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Venezian weed picker are way up. 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 8,667^th in the world and 207^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 437.73 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
