The Most Serene Republic of Venezia Pacifica is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Enrico Dándolo with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.481 billion Veneziani enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venezia. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Venezian economy, worth a remarkable 1,332 trillion Grossoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 178,148 Grossoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and the state believes that nature-oriented summer camps will somehow solve youth crime. Crime is totally unknown. Venezia Pacifica's national animal is the Lion of Saint Mark, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Unitarianism.

Venezia Pacifica is ranked 13,976^th in the world and 305^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
