The Corporate Conglomerate of Valerox is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hunteth Veredon with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.169 billion Valeroxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silith. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valeroxian economy, worth a remarkable 8,085 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 400,866 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, and pet owners want to know why their animals keep smiling at them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valerox's national animal is the Consumer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Manifest Corporatism.

Valerox is ranked 345,551st in the world and 280th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Nicest Citizens, with 0.09 average smiles per day.
