The Matriarchy of Velma Kelly is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 28.642 billion Chicagoians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 18.3%.

The a Chicagoian economy, worth a remarkable 1,011 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 35,329 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Nudity is frowned upon, the government is reining in public spending, voting is voluntary, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime is moderate. Velma Kelly's national animal is the Men.

Velma Kelly is ranked 201,583^rd in the world and 10^th in Chicago for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring zero on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
