The Ancient Sentinel of Venmere is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Wilhelm Crane with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.131 billion Venmereans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alcuta. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Venmerean economy, worth a remarkable 1,678 trillion Silvers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,390 Silvers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Venmere's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Church of Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
