The Socialist State of Venatriya is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.815 billion Venatrians 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rön-del. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Venatriyan economy, worth 628 trillion viras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 130,618 viras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venatriya's national animal is the wolf spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Venatriya is ranked 25,048^th in the world and 35^th in The Internationale for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 246.08 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
