The Federation of Velle Bene is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Ezra Johannes Anderson V with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.392 billion Velbenites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Paullus. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Velle Benean economy, worth 331 trillion luxes 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 61,536 luxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, and Ezra Johannes Anderson V is famed for giving great back rubs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velle Bene's national animal is the secretary bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Void.

Velle Bene is ranked 46,538^th in the world and 2,823^rd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
