Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Desert of Death Valleyz is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 10.843 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The small, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Public Transport, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Camels with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, all recreational drugs are legal, Death Valleyz successfully hosted the desert Olympics, and history classes are mandatory for students. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Death Valleyz's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the 090628015.

Death Valleyz is ranked 2nd in desert and 78,308th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
