The Free Land of Velekers is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 203 million Velekersians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Velekersian economy, worth 2.04 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 10,028 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velekers's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Velekers is ranked 280,581^st in the world and 3^rd in Algerheaven for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 294.05 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
