The Holy Militaristic Empire of NeoVelvien is a huge, devout nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as Social Welfare and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 60%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Cheese Exports and Information Technology.

Protests are legal but strictly supervised, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, and convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem. NeoVelvien's national animal is the chimera, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the zeppil.
