The Allied States of Valaee is a small, genial nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 26 million Valaeeans 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Valaeean economy, worth 1.13 trillion Mini Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,407 Mini Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Extreme political groups are outlawed, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is well under control. Valaee's national animal is the Cricket outside my window, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Valaee is ranked 314,818^th in the world and 21^st in VTubers and Anime for Largest Black Market, with 6.00 billion Standard Monetary Units.
