The Federation of Veradine is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by The United Veradine Assembly with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.948 billion Veradi are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haven. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Veradi economy, worth a remarkable 2,638 trillion Veradi Credits 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 203,768 Veradi Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, young men in tiny bikinis draw neither comment nor stares on the morning commute, resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, and government election advice reads like a restaurant menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Veradine's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Veradine is ranked 320,827^th in the world and 70^th in Gay for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
