The Unified Mountains of Torrent Valley is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Eternal President Silver Chupacabra with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.066 billion Torrentians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Seed. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.3%.

The very strong a Silver Chupacabra's Slave economy, worth 66.6 trillion Torrencial Seeds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 62,478 Torrencial Seeds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 304,537 per year while the poor average 7,382, a ratio of 41.3 to 1.

Children raised in multi-faith households claim the other deity would let them stay up later, Eternal President Silver Chupacabra has just been declared ruler of Torrent Valley in an international press conference, workers can choose whether they prefer offices that smell of pungent body odor or whale vomit, and priests are being drafted by the church load. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Torrent Valley's national animal is the Silver Chupacabra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Torrent Valley is ranked 95,859th in the world and 14th in Allied Nations Treaty Organization for Most Patriotic, with 17.03 flags saluted per person per day.
