The Empire of Velitaris is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Valtteri Mäkinen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 25.309 billion Velitarisians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaiserhof. The average income tax rate is 90.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Velitarisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,138 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 203,013 Reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Emperor Valtteri Mäkinen's throne. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velitaris's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Velitaris is ranked 180,888^th in the world and 97^th in Eientei Gensokyo for Safest, scoring 56.04 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
