The The Anarchy Anarchy of of Velandrome is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by John Velan with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.983 billion Velandromeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Administration aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The all-consuming Velandromean economy, worth 223 trillion Velan Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 112,726 Velan Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 676,964 per year while the poor average 8,487, a ratio of 79.8 to 1.

One can wake up in Velandrome and have breakfast in Bigtopia, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany John Velan to meetings with foreign heads of state, worship days have replaced sick days, and airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Velandrome's national animal is the Buffalo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Velandrome is ranked 7,004^th in the world and 33^rd in Talonia for Fattest Citizens, with 21.29 Obesity Rate.
