The Discoverian Enclave of Veritaria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Ford with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 34.711 billion Veritarians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vera City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Veritarian economy, worth a remarkable 5,174 trillion discs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 149,074 discs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,348,938 per year while the poor average 1,961, a ratio of 687 to 1.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, and prosecutors routinely call transplant doctors as 'expert witnesses' in burglary cases. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Veritaria's national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Veritaria is ranked 43,955th in the world and 6th in Philosophers for Most Stationary, with 1,005.276613567 days.
