The Emirate of Valenborn is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emir Sada Olas VI with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 15.486 billion Valens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Isijial. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Valen economy, worth a remarkable 1,938 trillion Aoerian Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 125,209 Aoerian Credits, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment, Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valenborn's national animal is the Fiefer Jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Valenborn is ranked 85,136^th in the world and 30^th in Barbaria for Safest, scoring 88.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
