The Armed Forces of The Velnerian Army is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by the High Commander of Armies with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.798 billion velnerians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thyreapolis. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong velnerian economy, worth 538 trillion velnes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,049 velnes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fitness to teach sport is proven by urinating the furthest up a wall, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, and velnerian companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Velnerian Army's national animal is the Red Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is the Holy Primordial Church.

The Velnerian Army is ranked 52,651^st in the world and 15^th in Warzone Asia for Smartest Citizens, with 39.49 quips per hour.
