The Kingdom of Valgoria is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Randolph Asbjørnsen VI with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, public floggings, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.53 billion Valgorians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Public Transport aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Windhelm. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Valgorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,812 trillion Rodins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 109,668 Rodins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 452,890 per year while the poor average 17,459, a ratio of 25.9 to 1.

Sofas are perpetually on sales that Must End Soon, the criminal underworld is awash with sausage smuggling, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, and constipated disaster survivors are rapidly learning that MRE is short for "Meal Requiring Enemas". Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Valgoria's national animal is the Noble Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Indigoism.

Valgoria is ranked 56,375th in the world and 17th in Barbaria for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,298.63 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
