Overview

The Borderlands of Veltav is a large, devout nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 23 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Education and Religion & Spirituality are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 18%, but much higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

All recreational drugs are legal, the death penalty has been reintroduced, graffiti graces every city's streets, and drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government. Crime is relatively low. Veltav's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the star.

Rankings

Veltav is ranked 63rd in the region and 73,653rd in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.
