The Kingdom of Ventalia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by First Minister Francois Dubois with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.058 billion Ventalians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Montnoire. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ventalian economy, worth a remarkable 3,221 trillion libras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 320,258 libras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, the well-to-do in Lorania are never on time for important appointments, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime is totally unknown. Ventalia's national animal is the fallow deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Historical Ventalian Paganism.

Ventalia is ranked 35,034^th in the world and 11^th in Lorania for Rudest Citizens, with 81.28 Insults Per Minute.
