The Empire of Velhkaiddia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Golovakha Eugeni Vadimovich with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.871 billion Velhkaiddians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ontor. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Velhkaidic economy, worth 504 trillion Black Gold coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 175,599 Black Gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, and the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velhkaiddia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Oryflotism.

Velhkaiddia is ranked 48,876^th in the world and 77^th in Astoria for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,503.26 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
