The Totalitarian Corporatocracy of New Verodania is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Ruler Richard Shiftacre with an iron fist, and notable for its vat-grown people, public floggings, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.677 billion Verodanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Halcyon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Verodanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,824 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 325,521 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,843,002 per year while the poor average 5,722, a ratio of 496 to 1.

More and more people are signing up for the government party, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Verodanians any less frightened, and a popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. New Verodania's national animal is the Muscovy Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Consumerism.

New Verodania is ranked 55,242nd in the world and 38th in The Black Hawks for Most Stationary, with 795.1749424766 days.
