The Republic of Verderiesdre is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 340 million Verderians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berevesk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Verderian economy, worth 38.3 trillion Sherlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 112,629 Sherlings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 402,218 per year while the poor average 22,662, a ratio of 17.7 to 1.

All the playground's a stage for Verderian schoolchildren, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and chickens roam the streets freely. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Verderiesdre's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Verderiesdre is ranked 139,866^th in the world and 7,855^th in The North Pacific for Most Inclusive, scoring 92.09 on the Mandela-Wollstonecraft Non-Discrimination Index.
