The Confederacy of Valerie is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles. The quiet, industrious population of 15.668 billion Valerieans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Valeriean economy, worth 558 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,648 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, cars are banned, and fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valerie's national animal is the Black Widow.

Valerie is ranked 133,482^nd in the world and 100^th in Jenny for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 106.56 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
