The Cupcake Devouring Kingdom of Red Velveteria is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Maxwell Kernell with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.006 billion Red Velveterians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kurse. The average income tax rate is 22.3%.

The powerhouse Red Velveterian economy, worth 698 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 99,693 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Kurse has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, euthanasia is legal, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee. Crime is totally unknown. Red Velveteria's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Red Velveteria is ranked 121,838^th in the world and 7^th in Arda en Estel for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
