The Eternal Realm of Valanora is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Lady Orome with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 12.592 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raynor City. The average income tax rate is 74%, and even higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Tourism and Cheese Exports.

Voting is voluntary, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, Max Barry is this year's Miss Valanora, and people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valanora's national animal is the dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Elunism, and its currency is the silver coin.

Valanora is ranked 19th in Atlantian Oceania and 6,222nd in the world for Most Influential, scoring 54 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
