The Kingdom of Velkisa is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Harold I of House Blackhardr with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.203 billion Velks are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aerma. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Velk economy, worth a remarkable 2,865 trillion Rodins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 188,468 Rodins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,659,019 per year while the poor average 3,125, a ratio of 530 to 1.
An alabaster statue of an ancient cat-deity takes pride of place in the centre of Aerma, puppies given out free in marketing promotions are often tossed straight into the trash, town welcome signs list corporate sponsors, and machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. Velkisa's national animal is the Huskij Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cyanism.
Velkisa is ranked 27,369th in the world and 6th in Barbaria for Most Stationary, with 1,424.07399831428 days.
