The United Provinces of Ventelia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mertkan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 21.97 billion Ventelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flouse. The average income tax rate is 68.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Ventelian economy, worth a remarkable 4,093 trillion Argels a year, is 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 impressive 186,321 Argels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.
Mertkan's new political program is often mockingly called 'Capitalism with a Bigtopian face', members of majority races are forced out of their homes to make way for Bigtopians, children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out, and businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems. Crime is totally unknown. Ventelia's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Ventelia is ranked 169,286th in the world and 773rd in Europe for Most Extreme, scoring 17.55 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
