Verazano is a Paloman territory located in the Carolinas in North America. It was originally an independent country called North Dirigo before being annexed to Paloma in 2023 as Verazano.

Verazanians have been Paloman citizens since 2023, and are permitted to move between mainland Paloma and the territory. However, as residents of the unincorporated territory, Paloman citizens of Verazano are disenfranchised at the national level, do not vote for in elections and do not pay federal taxes. Verazano's capital is Newton.

Etymology
