The Democratic Republic of Valimaar is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.96 billion Valimaarians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Valimaarian economy, worth 294 trillion radiant dews a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 36,946 radiant dews, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valimaar's national animal is the Seal.

Valimaar is ranked 117,990^th in the world and 134^th in ainulindale for Safest, scoring 74.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
