The Sacred Land of New Vermion is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Federal President Jonathan Hughes with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.204 billion Vermionians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Park. The average income tax rate is 62.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Vermionish economy, worth 313 trillion Vermionish Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,179 Vermionish Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brown Sugar 101 is a popular course at community colleges, the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, and banning party poppers has been a real party pooper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Vermion's national animal is the Goose, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

New Vermion is ranked 269,922^nd in the world and 371^st in United Kingdom for Most Patriotic, with 0.78 flags saluted per person per day.
