The Kingdom of Velaris Shine is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 2.37 billion Velaris Shineans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velaris. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Velaris Shinean economy, worth 92.7 trillion Golds a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,094 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, every workday begins with group therapy, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and Velaris Shine has designated Velaris as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velaris Shine's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Velaris Shine is ranked 40,354^th in the world and 7^th in Allied Nations Treaty Organization for Most Primitive, scoring 62.21 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
