The Constitutional Monarchy of Velichiye is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 3.832 billion Velichiyeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Velichiyean economy, worth 151 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. Average income is 39,514 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, organ donation is compulsory, and schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velichiye's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Velichiye is ranked 89,551^st in the world and 167^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,786.97 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
