The Entroterranean Colony of Magna Veltro is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Veltric Directory with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, national health service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 7.068 billion Veltranians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurea. The average income tax rate is 35.1%.

The strong veltrano economy, worth 403 trillion Entroterranean Lire a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is 57,090 Entroterranean Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, Veltric Directory's new android secretary is the latest media darling, Veltric Directory has just been declared ruler of Magna Veltro in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Magna Veltro's national animal is the Veltro, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Magna Veltro is ranked 55,272^nd in the world and 7^th in Veltric Union for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 135.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
