Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Dominion of New Valedonia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 896 million hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The small government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15%. A small but healthy private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Pizza Delivery.

Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. New Valedonia's national animal is the Double Jagged Rhino, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Quertz russling.

New Valedonia is ranked 51st in Rushmore and 39,501st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
