The Kingdom of Valocke is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Randyll with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.641 billion Valockeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valbury. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valockean economy, worth 333 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 126,312 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Beggars lack pockets for spare change, there's a bright dawn ahead for Valocke, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, and sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Valocke's national animal is the Rhino, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valocke is ranked 4,168^th in the world and 105^th in the West Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 180.07 Bank.
