The Constitutional Monarchy of Vershine is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.651 billion Vershinians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 28.2%.

The strong Vershinian economy, worth 80.4 trillion stars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,688 stars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Elite teams of assassins have been sent into Brasilistan, Vershinian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, euthanasia is legal, and pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vershine's national animal is the crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Vershine is ranked 96,993^rd in the world and 1^st in Poenas for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,032.15 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
