The Empire of Velitaris is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Valtteri Mäkinen with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 25.218 billion Velitarisians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaiserhof. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Velitarisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,079 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 201,441 Reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and the government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velitaris's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Velitaris is ranked 5,626th in the world and 8th in Eientei Gensokyo for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
