The Queendom of Velingrad is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 448 million Velingradians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sùviǎ. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Velingradian economy, worth 32.5 trillion Yugoslav Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 72,626 Yugoslav Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Leader wears an armoured gauntlet, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, and Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Velingrad as a reminder of their "special relationship". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velingrad's national animal is the Man of War Jellyfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Velingrad is ranked 77,146^th in the world and 3^rd in Abyss for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,342.84 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
