The Federal Republic of Veliciana is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sofia Gray with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 2.981 billion Velicianans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Großfestung. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Velicianan economy, worth 510 trillion Velics a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,304 Velics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Happiness is all being miserable together, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Veliciana's national animal is the Velican Red Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Veliciana is ranked 309,232^nd in the world and 720^th in Concord for Most Primitive, scoring -446.5 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
