The Federal Republic of Veliciana is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sofia Gray with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 1.785 billion Velicianans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The frighteningly efficient Velicianan economy, worth 279 trillion Velics a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,612 Velics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The art of conversation has been rediscovered, euthanasia is legal, weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, and teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Veliciana's national animal is the Velican Red Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Veliciana is ranked 92,644^th in the world and 374^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 85.02 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
