The City of Velarus is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, state-planned economy, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.187 billion Illyrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 36.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Velarusian economy, worth 402 trillion Acorns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Retail, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 49,156 Acorns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, the Velarusian football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee, and most people learn to drive on crash courses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velarus's national animal is the Ifrit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Velarus is ranked 166,915th in the world and 2nd in Fae for Most Stationary, with 110.91675540212 days.
