The Union of Valerion is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Overlord Valerius with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.864 billion Valerionites are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valerion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Valerionic economy, worth a remarkable 9,919 trillion Denariis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 415,679 Denariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most ambassadors from Valerion retire only a few years after being appointed, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and saying "don't do anything that Overlord Valerius wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valerion's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Valerion is ranked 313th in the world and 9th in the Rejected Realms for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 19,615.96 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
