The Holy Green Vapors of Vellashu is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by High Mistress Felicia Wydychać with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, rampant corporate plagiarism, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 13.056 billion Vellashuans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felicitas. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Vellashuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,419 trillion Oskulas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 108,722 Oskulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, and the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vellashu's national animal is the Black Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Holy Vaporism.

Vellashu is ranked 7,194th in the world and 11th in Hippy Haven for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,919.67 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
