The Republic of Veelania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Winston Hinchcliffe II with a fair hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.927 billion Veelanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Litunalia. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Veelanian economy, worth 241 trillion Veelanian stips a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 125,424 Veelanian stips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, party affiliation is just as irrelevant as campaign promises, crocodile roadkill is smeared across the asphalt of the new Formula One track, and Winston Hinchcliffe II's speeches are beloved by insomniacs. 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 176,341st in the world and 7,112th in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 1.93 billion capita.
