The Republic of Venetia is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by Doge Marco Gradenigo with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 25.269 billion Venetians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Spirituality, with Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Healthcare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venice. The average income tax rate is 20.4%.

The strong Venetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,064 trillion lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 42,144 lire, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, Doge Marco Gradenigo has just been declared ruler of Venetia in an international press conference, Roman Catholicism has been named as Venetia's national religion, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime is moderate. Venetia's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Venetia is ranked 248,918^th in the world and 56^th in Terranova for Most Extreme, scoring 10.51 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
