The Economic Growth of Venture Encouragers is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by State Capital with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, complete lack of public education, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.331 billion Venture Encouragersians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Environment is also considered important, while Education receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Subsidiza. The average income tax rate is 66.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Venture Encouragersian economy, worth 368 trillion direct funds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Gambling. 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 an impressive 110,584 direct funds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Large areas of Venture Encouragers are not accessible by the public, the Subsidiza XV Regiment (aka "The Goat Starers") have yet to win a battle, prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, and rumor has it that State Capital has won three lotteries in a row. Crime is all-pervasive. Venture Encouragers's national animal is the government, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is tax breaks.

Venture Encouragers is ranked 303,609^th in the world and 57^th in Panama Papers for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -21 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
