The Holy Green Vapors of Vellashu is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by High Mistress Felicia Wydychać with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 18.187 billion Vellashuans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felicitas. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Vellashuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,958 trillion Oskulas 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 107,705 Oskulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Coco the Clown has been elected to the nation's parliament, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially, and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vellashu's national animal is the Black Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Holy Vaporism.

Vellashu is ranked 22,014^th in the world and 38^th in Hippy Haven for Largest Populations, with 18.2 billion capita.
