The Empire of Veremur is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Damien Koschei with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, avowedly heterosexual populace, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 36.412 billion Veremurians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Spirituality and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Education are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sang City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Veremurian economy, worth an astonishing 18,358 trillion Koscheis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is a breathtaking 504,190 Koscheis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,448,913 per year while the poor average 26,589, a ratio of 129 to 1.

It takes a village to catch a criminal, raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists, the government is telling wizards to put their heart into their work, and the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Damien Koschei in ermine and velvet garb. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Veremur's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Koscheism.

Veremur is ranked 7,192^nd in the world and 1^st in Sol III for Largest Black Market, with 979 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
