The Herta of Viridescent Meadows is a mammoth, genial nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.125 billion Kururins 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 Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 40.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Viridescent Meadowsian economy, worth 634 trillion Prisms a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 89,064 Prisms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Viridescent Meadows's national animal is the Red Floys, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Viridescent Meadows is ranked 239,754^th in the world and 1^st in Herta for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.35 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
