The Empire of Veremur is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Damien Koschei with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 40.013 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, although Spirituality and Law & Order are also considered important, 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 20,979 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. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 524,327 Koscheis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,366,364 per year while the poor average 33,216, a ratio of 101 to 1.

The prisoners of Azkatraz have a new emperor, seafood restaurants assure customers 'If it lives in the sea, it's on our menu', the nation's cuisine is the laughing stock of Sol III, and people are often woken up by rubbish music. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. 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 320,927th in the world and 3rd in Sol III for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -133.94 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
