The Republic of Veelania is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Winston Hinchcliffe II with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 6.954 billion Veelanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Litunalia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Veelanian economy, worth 964 trillion Veelanian stips a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 138,766 Veelanian stips, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned ferretball fields, snowball fights inaugurate summer breaks, cheap goods stamped "Made In Dàguó" are increasingly rare, and every child sleeps with a gun to protect themselves from the monster under the bed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Veelania's national animal is the ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Veelania is ranked 7,311^th in the world and 366^th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 131 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
