The Versian Empire of Middle Vers is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Empress Asseylum Vers Allusia V with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, enslaved workforce, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.681 billion Versians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capria. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Versian economy, worth a remarkable 6,868 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 588,013 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, and neighbourhood gossips whip up controversy about those receiving adult merchandise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Middle Vers's national animal is the Versian eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Versianism.

Middle Vers is ranked 130,562^nd in the world and 69^th in Institute of Cellulose for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 108.86 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
