The Kingdom of Versuria is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7 million Versurians 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 relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 10.3%.

The Versurian economy, worth 323 billion V$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 46,169 V$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Versurian farm salmon are known for being both horribly diseased and remarkably acrobatic, net monetary worth and net moral worth are considered to be directly equivalent, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and religious officials are furious after discovering that things made of stone do not burn well at the stake. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. Versuria's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Versuria is ranked 166,771^st in the world and 8^th in The Cuckoos Egg for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
