The Federation of Verro Chouthe is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 288 million Choutheans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Chouthean economy, worth 13.0 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,275 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new hit series "Verro Chouthe's Got Trauma" has corporate executives fleeing the country, the public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Verro Chouthe's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Verro Chouthe is ranked 91,360^th in the world and 2,026^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,807.76 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
