The Ruined Kingdom of Lesser Velutaria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Atēro den Blessi with an even hand, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, public floggings, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.487 billion Velutarians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vellun. The average income tax rate is 14.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Vellish economy, worth a remarkable 1,298 trillion Īnis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,063 Īnis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Home renovation projects take decades to complete, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, the Vellish delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", and last minute own-goals raise the suspicious eyebrows of sporting authorities. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Lesser Velutaria's national animal is the Blue-crested Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Khīnto.
Lesser Velutaria is ranked 47,136th in the world and 21st in Anteria for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,890.33 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
