The People's Republic of Velykoslaw is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Nikolai with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.541 billion Velykoslawians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velykoslaw City. The average income tax rate is 64.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Velykoslawian economy, worth 157 trillion nasroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 102,035 nasroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cheering flag-waving citizens don't like to think too hard about politics, religious education is a new government priority, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and Velykoslaw recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velykoslaw's national animal is the snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Communism.

Velykoslaw is ranked 88,025^th in the world and 90^th in Spiritus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 582.83 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
