The Kingdom of Venova is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King William VI with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed population of 3.441 billion Venovans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venova. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Venovan economy, worth 291 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,837 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Research into 'designer babies' is banned, a milk bath costs more than bathing in money, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, and children who write letters to Santa Claus end up in straitjackets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venova's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Venova is ranked 52,564^th in the world and 4^th in The Alliance of Absolute Monarchs for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,306.19 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
