The Culture of Tarraya Vel is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ithe Daeschsel with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 20.245 billion Tarrayans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velorum. The average income tax rate is 3.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Tarraya Velian economy, worth a remarkable 5,860 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 289,499 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, and hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework. Crime is totally unknown. Tarraya Vel's national animal is the Droid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tarraya Vel is ranked 293,063^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Organization of Cultured Nations for Most Primitive, scoring -1254.73 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
