The Empire of Veremur is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Damien Koschei with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. 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 18,360 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 504,241 Koscheis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,449,261 per year while the poor average 26,591, a ratio of 129 to 1.

The government is telling wizards to put their heart into their work, the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Damien Koschei in ermine and velvet garb, bilingual Veremurians are viewed with suspicion, and children are often punished for the sins of the fathers. 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 2,328th in the world and 2nd in Sol III for Largest Governments, scoring 53.29 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
