The Empire of Velhkaiddia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Golovakha Eugeni Vadimovich with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.93 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 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Velhkaidic economy, worth 521 trillion Black Gold coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 177,883 Black Gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Computers are used primarily for word processing and solitaire, cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, and there is no such thing as an innocent fling in the Velhkaidic military. 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 149,943^rd in the world and 38^th in Astoria for Largest Populations, with 2.93 billion capita.
