The Peoples Commonwealth of Venkoyo is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Supreme Senate of the Venkoyoani with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, sprawling nuclear power plants, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.025 billion Venkoyoanis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calgary. The average income tax rate is 39.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Venkoyan economy, worth 116 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,831 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Notable individuals are granted land and titles, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, and the Venkoyan Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Venkoyo's national animal is the horned owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Secularism.

Venkoyo is ranked 37,288^th in the world and 48^th in Institute of Cellulose for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,469.61 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
