The Golden Crown of Ventalia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King Filippe III with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, vat-grown people, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 14.832 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 Aurelia. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ventalian economy, worth a remarkable 4,791 trillion Sols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 323,041 Sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Future leaders of Ventalia regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them, the secret ingredient is love (and MSG), and robots can only dream of electric sheep and living a long happy life. Crime is totally unknown. Ventalia's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cultus Veneris Solis.

Ventalia is ranked 3,925^th in the world and 186^th in Osiris for Longest Average Lifespans, with 93.33 years.
