The Federal Republic of Vennos is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Revik Vyriss with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory gun ownership, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 13.467 billion Vennosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saphlin. The average income tax rate is 1.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vennosian economy, worth a remarkable 4,671 trillion Deltixes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 346,883 Deltixes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, and airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Vennos's national animal is the Sea Bass, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Athyism.

Vennos is ranked 327,949^th in the world and 7^th in Atrax for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -13.42 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
