The Empire of Valltoria is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 384 million Valltorians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Christiana. The average income tax rate is 31.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Valltorian economy, worth 32.6 trillion valltoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,883 valltoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, and the native owl population is in permanent hibernation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Valltoria's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valltoria is ranked 164,622^nd in the world and 122^nd in New Western Empire for Most Primitive, scoring -113.25 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
