The Federation of Verwis is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Militaris Alaric Victorum with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.339 billion Verwisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merano. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Verwisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,168 trillion Vers a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 553,405 Vers, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Brain-freeze has taken on a new meaning, corrupt officials have adopted the greater good as their catchphrase, the sound of silence from abandoned Violetist temples is deafening, and t-bagging dead Bigtopians merits a medal of honor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verwis's national animal is the Sparrow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Verwis is ranked 2,182^nd in the world and 18^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,911.01 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
