The Federation of Velltonania is a very large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical population of 298 million Velltonanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 34.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Velltonanian economy, worth 12.0 trillion firas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,174 firas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and calling dibs is an unalienable right. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velltonania's national animal is the Floofy Cat.

Velltonania is ranked 227,056^th in the world and 441^st in Starlight for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
