Vellicosia has a population of a pproximately 36,965,000, according to a 2018 estimate.

Etymology

Vellicosia stems from the Latin Bellicosia, from the union of bellicosus, from earlier bellicus, meaning "warlike", and the suffix ia denoting a place or country. The nation, renowned for its warrior culture, fierce military tradition, and frequent raids and wars upon neighboring states, was thus referred to by Latin-speakers as the warlike-land. The native Ƿendischland stems from three roots: Ƿend, from Old Vellicosian Ƿend, from Proto-Germanic *winidaz, meaning "Wend"; the suffix isch, from Old Vellicosian isċ, from Proto-Germanic *iskaz, meaning "pertaining to" or "characteristic of"; and land, meaning "country" or "territory", whence English Wendland and Wendishland. Ƿendischland thus means "Wendish-land" or "land of the Wends."
