“You make the choices”

The United Socialist States of Velliaba is a huge, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning wombat population. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 798 million 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29%. A substantial private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, followed by Cheese Exports and Pizza Delivery.

Voting is voluntary and euthanasia is legal. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velliaba's national animal is the wombat, and its currency is the confedes.

Velliaba is ranked 1014th in the region and 32,990th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
