The Federation of Velle Bene is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ezra Johannes Anderson V with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.43 billion Velbenites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Paullus. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Velle Benean economy, worth 320 trillion luxes 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 58,935 luxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', it's often raining men (hallelujah) in New Paullus, and the seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Velle Bene's national animal is the secretary bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Void.

Velle Bene is ranked 107,808^th in the world and 5,303^rd in Osiris for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
