Third 3rd Skyclan republic awoke sweaty and cold in a chair, bounded to it by ropes, and the ends bolted into the cement ground. His eyes remained unfocused, gradually adjusting to the dark. There was a dim, almost faded lightbulb above him. From what little light it shone, he could tell that the cement below him was squared, moldy, dirty, and wet. With a sharp pain in his neck he gradually lifted up his face, which was when he saw it.

"no."

From the other side of the room, it stared at him.

"No."

Those white, ghastly eyes.

"NO!"

That creepy grin.

"NOOOOOOOO!"

He screamed and screamed, and then it was upon him.

Third 3rd Skyclan republic has been removed from SR:RP.

The Valentian Government and Clarissa would also like to thank billions of other citizens in contributing to this guide!

Hello to you, my friends! I am Clarissa Alanis Star among many names, but many of you might have known me as Clarissa! I am hoping that you have a wonderful day ahead, and on behalf of everyone around me, I would like to thank you all for coming down to our humble nation. As a quick overview, De Geweldige Sierlijke Katachtige Utopia en Zijne Autonome Machten ov Valentine Z (The Graceful and Wonderful Feline Utopia and its Glorious Autonomous Superpowers of Valentine Z), or simply known as Valentine Z, is a combination of nearly the entirety of Earth, along with Mars. Its territories on Earth is everything, minus Australia, which belongs to The Borderlands of Vidunderlige Nye Verden. Valentine Z covers 141,247,976 km² on Earth alone!

Country Code: +31.
Internet TLD: .vz
Time Zone: Ahh... quite a lot!
All roads drive on the left. Driver on right side.

The pre-Valentian history was identical to the history of what was known as "Earth with non-disastrous Cold War results". For this parallel, the Cold War escalated and the world was separated to two sides: The Western Hemisphere (USA and its allies), and The Eastern Hemisphere (USSR and its allies). On the grim evening of 25th of September, 1998, both USA and USSR had enough of each other. They launched nuclear missiles at one another, as well as through its ally regions. Basically, almost every single square mile of the Earth was bombarded by radiation. From the ashes of the old world, comes terraforming, and a new Earth of peace, love, and harmony. Valentine Z's role is to unite the world under one roof, as well as to prevent further atrocities and crimes against humanity from happening again. Namely, Valentine Z has sworn off its usage of nuclear weapons on international stages (though 16 ICBMs are kept in case of possible large-scale invasions), while recognizing the presence of other worlds, and even other Earths, through parallel universes. Risen from the ashes of Earth's former nations and colonies, Valentine Z's aim is simple: For betterment of humanity, as well as to eliminate discrimination based on race, religion, or ethnicity. As of Jan 2050, Valentine Z set itself a goal to colonize Mars to accommodate the growing population, and by 2067, most of the Valentians have taken their first flight to Mars, setting up a permanent colony on the new red planet. Valentine Z operates on an Autocracy, with Limited Capitalism and a degree of Socialist and Communist ideologies implemented in its economic system.

We also use Decimal Time for the most parts, but since we will be mostly only here for a few days at best, I thought I might give you a quick rundown! A quick rule of thumb is that our days are 3 hours and 46 minutes longer, while our hours equate to 2 hours and 46 min of Normal Earth Time. It's a bit confusing, I do apologise for that, but here is a nifty little conversion table so that you would not get lost!

With that out of the way, this guide - in spite of the name - serves to help both the tourists, permanent residents, and Valentians alike, and above all, I only wish and hope that you will enjoy our world! Please do note that there will be posters, advertisements, and the like throughout this guide. They are not meant to be money-grabbing schemes, and instead are focused on showcasing the culture, traditions, and the habits of the Valentians with the best of intentions. The relevant advertisements will be pit inside in the most non-intrusive of ways.

Ahh, of course! The very first question that will have to be answered: How do I get to Valentine Z? Well, there are quite a few ways, but for the most parts, this is assuming that you know about the existence of the multiverse. That is, the fact that there are many worlds other than yours that exist and thus you normally won't find Valentine Z on your own planet, galaxy, or your universe. Fear not for that!

Thanks to our lovely Gwen Tracer Allison Oxton here, we have determined and mapped out that Valentine Z exists in the universe [9968, 1020, 7518], based on the Universe Coordinate System. If you are unsure, simply approach Gwen either by calling her multiversal communication device, or approaching her when she is around in your universe. You will definitely know it is her when she visits your world!

When you disembark onto the Interdimensional Airport of Valentine Z - one on Earth and one on Mars - please do ready your travel documents for the immigration checkpoint. The very first thing you might notice is the intimidating stature of the Valentians. Please do not worry - we mean no harm, and the VIA (Valentian Immigration Authority) will do the utmost best to make checks a comfortable one. Valentine Z currently does not have hard stances on what can or cannot be brought into Valentine Z. Basically, there is still no hard rules on what is prohibited, and it all depends on context. Here are a few examples to help you out, though please do note that this is not exhaustive!

  • Weapons can be brought in for personal usage, so anything in bulk or in large amounts might be subject to questions.

  • Exotic animals can be brought in for preservation and to give them a better home, but they will be confiscated once we find out that they were meant for sales.

  • Slaves cannot be brought into Valentine Z with the sole purpose of treating as one. The only exception is when they are going to be given a better home and their slave status completely removed (i.e. an ex-slave) who would find Valentine Z to be a good place to be.

Please do ensure that your passports conform to your own national laws, and of Valentian's. Most countries and visas will let you stay for a maximum of 60 days, and we do not like condemning travel and visitors from other countries unless there presents a hazard for both the Valentians and for the visitors alike. Also, please don't be alarmed when everything looks rather big from your perspective!


Nations under each Superpower (with Autonomous regions).


Climate of Valentine Z's Earth.

Valentine Z as of now has two planets under its territory - the Earth that should be familiar to the many of us, as well as Mars, which we have terraformed in the 2055s. One can hop across the two planets either through the quick or slow method. The quick method is the obvious teleportation, which will send you hurtling through space via the wormholes. It's fast, it's fantastic! It might also cause a small bit of nausea for those who are not used to it. For those who are worried, don't worry! ♥ Valentine Z has tested and ensured that there will be no philosophical dilemmas when you are teleporting from one place to another through wormholes. You will be intact through the entire trip, and no way at any point will you be dematerialized and re-materialized, with your soul getting lost.

On the other hand, you have the slow but tried and true method - what better way to see the majesty of the space around us, by taking the spaceship from Earth <-> Mars? It takes a few days to reach either planet by this method, but there are different packages for different priorities!

  • 14 days trip: Earth <-> Mars, one-way trip from either planet - 200 Valentian Credits per flight.

  • 10 days trip: Earth <-> Mars, one-way trip from either planet - 300 Valentian Credits per flight.

  • 6 days trip: Earth <-> Mars, one-way trip from either planet - 500 Valentian Credits per flight.

  • 4 days trip: Earth <-> Mars, one-way trip from either planet - 1000 Valentian Credits per flight.

  • 2 days trip: Earth <-> Mars, one-way trip from either planet - 1500 Valentian Credits per flight.

For Earth, it is of note that we have the territorial rights of almost every single nation - some marked as autonomous region that is under administration of some of the Valentians. Only exception is Australia and New Zealand for those who are familiar with these countries. They are under the administration of The Borderlands of Vidunderlige Nye Verden and while we do not exactly have problems with them, they preferred that they be left alone for the most parts, and we agree to that. They don't have anything against tourists either, but just be careful when you are venturing into such a place.

The Meowvellous Wonderful World of Valentine Z - Areas under Valentine Z has seen the most amount of greenery. The region excels both as a place of residence for its people, as well as with the presence of nature scenery to calm one’s minds. After all, a garden is just a few steps away, or for some people, a few floors away. Visit the green and lush rainforests, or the deserts with pristine and soft sands in all directions.

The Clarissa's Extra Territories of Alanis Star - Alanis Star is the closest to Valentine Z in terms of aesthetics, and having been the oldest autonomous state of Valentine Z. While its architecture is also mostly trees and greenery, intricate yet breathtaking glass buildings and skyscrapers were built all around, as well as having most of the regions under Alanis Star to be automated. As a result of this, Alanis Star is deemed as one of the most scientifically advanced regions of the Valentian world, as well as looking the most aesthetically pleasing.

The Overwatch's Enhanced Bastion of Voorzichtigheid - Due to its status as a city combined with a military base, Voorzichtigheid has commonly gotten itself the dystopian feel, though not with the qualities that one would expect from a dictatorship. In fact, Voorzichtigheid operates just like Valentine Z, except that due to the implementation of defensive assets, the buildings look grimmer in terms of appearance, as well as having several well-armed choke points in case of an invasion. The entirety of Voorzichtigheid (formerly United States of America) is surrounded by a fence with guards on their duties 24/7, with proper rotations, in order to keep the defensive installations safe, and ultimately, Valentine Z and the entire planet.

The Heerlijke Opperheerschappij of Victoriaans Nederlands - As the name suggests, Victoriaans Nederlands has decided to take the backwards approach in terms of time period. While the buildings were still as functional as any other buildings from all over Valentine Z, Victoriaans Nederlands’ buildings are characterised by their steampunk aesthetics, as well as pertaining to the buildings that one would see in the actual Victorian Era. As a result, while Victoriaans Nederlands was not exactly well-known for the clean look of their cities, the eco-friendly factor is still very high on the account that most of these steampunk and Victorian buildings were retrofitted with solar panels, wind mills, and any other green sources of energy. It might not have the look of a green city, but it still operates as one, as described by many of its inhabitants, as well as from the outside visitors.

The Scientific Super Colliders of Vostrov - The buildings of these three autonomous nations are of scientific nature. That is, while most of them are modernised buildings for universities and other institutes of learning, there are indeed high-rise buildings to house the scientists, researchers, and students, as well as buildings of science (such as Large Hadron Colliders) built all over the region.

We advise that you pack both warm and cool clothing to experience Valentine Z at its fullest, given the many various geographical conditions that are present in our world. For a wandering tourist, no place is neither going to be entirely hot, nor entirely cold, and we certainly did not want any of our esteemed and valued visitors to catch a heat stroke or hypothermia. If you forgot such clothing items, don't worry about it, for the Valentians got you covered in many of the outlets and stores that we have around our wondrous world and cities!

Methods of Transportation and Infrastructure
I think it would make much more sense if this section is in here! After all, after knowing a lot about the Valentian world of Earth and Mars, you will need to know how to get around! We primarily travel on Earth and on Mars through public transport, and they come in a lot of shapes and sizes!

  • Transcontinental Railways - Established in 2060, these large railroads span thousands of kilometers across several oceans, landmasses, continents, and even between countries on a large continent (these would be Intra-Continental Railroads). Think of them as a super-upsized versions of subways and skytrains that we are all used to, except that these can carry up to 10,000 passengers on a single trip. There are several services and lines that goes through on a 24/7 basis, ensuring that no Valentian or a tourist would be stranded knowing that they missed the last train home. To counter the worst elements of nature, and even the more artificial circumstances, the railroads were built to last for countless generations of Valentians - and can withstand a 9.9 Richter Scale earthquake, and tidal waves measuring up to 40 meters big. Couple these with dampeners and stabilisers, and the Valentian Continental Railroads will be breezing through to its next destination regardless of an earthquake, tidal wave, or a very bad weather.

  • Intra-planetary flights - A fancy way of saying "Flights from one country to another," these are relatively a cheaper way of traveling to another country - whether or not you are just a Valentian who wants to see the skies, or if you are a tourist that preferred this method. The airport security has significantly improved over the decades, with everyone getting a no-contact and non-intrusive check through the gantries that scans and validates! Terrorism is also at an all-time low here, with the last terrorist attack being in 1997, a good ~100 years with the attack being pre-Valentian Era!

  • Buses and local Train Networks - From the days of old as well - there is the old saying that goes: If they are not broken, why fix it? For the Valentians, if they were not broken, why not reintroduce them with the terraforming? Which we did, and now there were a LOT of these mass transit services in every single country under Valentine Z - they serve the people, not money, and they will get you anywhere with a fraction of a cost, along with being a comfortable ride.

  • Taxis and private cars are also very common, and they do see a trend amongst the Valentians across different countries, cultures, and regions. Due to the clean energy convention, most of the vehicles in Valentine Z are electric cars - 97% of them, at least! The electric cars are silent and elegant, although a few cheeky Valentians have added speakers onto them so as to replicate the engine sounds. It's still clean, nonetheless!

(0:23.11) From the ashes of yesteryear, a world of love,
(0:26.92) Val Z! Val Z! What joyous place!

(0:30.57) Very lush and green forests are, smiles from Nature,

(2:04.27) Thousand happy little kittens, fed and content,
(2:08.10) Val Z! Val Z! What joyous place!

(2:26.11) Oh, what a time to prosper here,
(2:29:65) You are very much worth it here, thus
(2:32.47) Come and find peace, and love, and harmony, right here right now, in this world of - Valentine Z!

History
It is perhaps suffice for me to say that Valentine Z has quite a history of our own, which can be read here if you would so like to! The Complete History (so far) of Valentine Z, narrated by our very own Gwen Tracer Allison!

In short, though? For those who came from that world with Earth on it, our world had quite a change after World War 2, with an ever-escalating Cold War that whilst offered and provided a lot of technological advancements and progression, also ended up with a total nuclear apocalypse that brought about the deaths of billions. It was only thanks to the many of my friends and the sheer will of the survivors that we made it this far, and to process towards a world without hatred and violence. We cannot tone it down to the bare minimum, but we at least definitely tried our best! For those who are even more curious about us, there are a few places that one can go in order to appreciate the Valentian history to the fullest!

A military poster with Valkyrie Valentijn S. Constantine.

Politics and Governance
There is unfortunately no nice way to go around this - Valentine Z runs on an oligarchy. I think quite a lot of you might be familiar with concepts of how there is a small group of people that controls everything. In this case, yes - Valentine Z runs under a group of individuals known as The Sixty. Truth be told, we are not exactly the most political of people and The Sixty was originally a small group of active military personnel that came along for Project Resolute, and then staying in as small but extremely active and competent group of soldiers. However, with Valkyrie Valentijn Samantha Constantine reining over, along with someone who can control time and space (Gwen Tracer Allison Oxton), a full expertise on the education system (Jolyn Maxine Caulfield Ceeta), technology and artificial intelligence (me and Adriana Kowalski Ela Lillian), unparalleled scientific advancement (Marcus Alan Ariel Reynolds), we have decided that the future for the Valentians would be better if we are the rulers of this world. It's been going great so far, I would say! The exception to this is Vidunderlige Nye Verden - combination of Australia and New Zealand, that broke loose from us. We still provide them with the defense and anything else that they might need, but for the most parts, they were left undisturbed by us mainly because there weren't a lot of people there to begin with.

Economy
Valentine Z currently has a GDP of 6.285 Quadrillion Valentian Credits, with GDP Per Capita of 404,236 Valentian Credits. With a strong Valentian Credit value with 1 VC = 3.41 USD, that gives us a GDP of 21.432 Quadrillion USD and GDP Per Capita of 1,378,444 USD.

A 1000 VC note (front), with Valkyrie Valentijn S. Constantine on it.

Extracted from Valentine Z's Economy Factbook: Overall, the Valentian Government more or less has a say in almost every aspect of the economy, though in the more recent decades, especially with colonisation of Mars, Primary and Secondary Industries are the only ones that still got a tight leash, while the Tertiary and Quaternary Industries are left mostly for the private corporations to develop. This is owing to the Valentian philosophy that focuses on development and betterment of everyone - both businesses and people. The Valentian Government’s interference is only towards the size of the companies and their behaviour towards the people and the environment, not on the freedom of information and flow of products. Media and non-tangible related industries are free to dispatch whatever information they please, as long as it’s truthful and non-conspiratorial towards any entity.

In short, Valentine Z works on a mixed economy system - one that still allows capitalism and private ownership to take place, but with a large amount of oversights to prevent the planets and the people from getting botched up with the pursuit of profit. As per definition: A mixed economic system protects private property and allows a level of economic freedom in the use of capital, but also allows for governments to interfere in economic activities in order to achieve social aims. This is in contrary to the popular belief that Valentine Z is a socialist or communist heaven or hellhole, depending on the politics. We Valentians were very well-aware of this, and you have our absolute assurance that we are simply against the concept of greed as a whole. It hurts people, after all!

So what does this mean for our most valued visitors? You will definitely get a lot out of value from our tourism industry, which we can absolutely assure you that there are no such thing as Tourist Traps in Valentine Z - you either get an experience for free, or at a price that is fair for both the visitors and the residents alike. No more worries about hiked prices! That sounds like quite a nice deal for those who are visiting our fair and fine country, isn't it? ♥

The Valentians are well-known for their amazing computer technologies and gadgets, as well as the cameras and camcorders alike that is the pride of many recorded sessions for the Valentians - for personal memories, for news events, for movies, and many more.

Demographics & Culture
Ahh, the Demographics of us! Well, there is one in short: We are all Valentians on this very Earth and Mars, and even for those who are here to visit us, they are treated equally and with utmost respect!

In long form, there are A LOT of people here! Valentine Z - consisting of Earth and Mars, is home to 15.550 billion (physical) people; physical excludes those living in the virtual world. You will find every single nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation, and the like, and they are all over the two planets! Sure, there are places with more or less concentrations of a certain demographic, but for all the time, discrimination is certainly not allowed, and everyone shares and appreciates each other's culture very much! Simply fly/teleport/move around, and you just might find something that is very fascinating!

The Valentians speak a conlang called the Valkyrie Sprak, basically combining almost every single language there is on the planet. Still, most of us speak English as the second language, so please do feel free to talk to us, and do not be afraid! We might be tall, but we are still very friendly to those who are around! If you are unable to reach for something, and trust me, we Valentians know, please do not hesitate to ask any of us for assistance! We are more than happy and willing to help a fellow stranger out!

Of note is that other than humans, there are also many other sapient and sentient beings that roamed our planet - The known races of Valentine Z are as follows:

  • Human – American Indian or Alaska Native

  • Human – Asian

  • Human – Black or African American

  • Human – Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander

  • Human – White

  • Artificial Intelligence – Along with the humans, they too were given the same amount of rights, though a random check can be done in order to check for tempered bots or sabotaging units. And hey, don't worry, I have been there as well! It's very painless!

  • Unknown – The Void – This only consists of one 2nd Lt. Sylvie so far, and given her status as an otherworldly person, it is difficult to determine her exact origin, while she still deserves the rights of a Valentian.

  • Anthromorphic Animals – Non-human species whereby they have managed to achieve human-level intelligence through a medium. The medium is not the utmost importance, and instead the emphasis is given on the fact that they are as human as one can be, mentally speaking, and thus were given the same rights]

Culture-wise, you will also realise that there are a lot of diversity, but one thing is for sure, is that the Valentians have quite an united vision when it comes to international events. The Valentians went into the international events way back in 2080 - when we have reached quite an equilibrium and maximum cheerfulness and happiness at that time. For the most parts, the Valentians have the most history and impact on the world of NSSCRA, even taking a victory and championship by Anastasia Freya Yadana Aye back in NSSCRA 10. Due to the elements of time dilation, along with the rates at clocks tick, do note that some of the supposed annual events might take longer for us. Valentine Z has participated in the following sports:


Food
Ahh, wonderful food! Again, given our very wide range of demographics, we have a LOT of dishes from all over the world! Some of them are spicy, some are cooling, some has a LOT of rice, some goes well with tea, a few others go well with dessert, some are not meant to be eaten after they are fermented, the list goes on! If your taste buds are satisfied with the food you just ate, that definitely means you are in the right place or are fitting more with that culture!

All of our food, for all intents and purposes, came from sustainable farms - for both vegetable and animal products. We have been shifting slowly from livestock to lab-grown meat and after several trial and error, along with decades of shifting mindsets, we are now proud to announce that nearly 91% of our food came from the labs. We also have had 5.382 trillion tests over the decades, and the times have changed on the public opinion on the idea of lab-grown meat along with synthetic chemicals that were perfected to the brim. The food in Valentine Z has never been this delicious before!

As a bit of a tip for spice-lovers: You may want to head on down to Valentine Z's Earth's tropical areas for the most authentic and the spiciest of foods! For those that would prefer a bit of European flair and colder food, the Sub-Polar and Temperate regions are the way to go!

The type of drinks vary with each Valentian's preference! Some of them love it with plain ol' water; others washed it down with some alcohol, or non-alcohol depending on their religion. Some of them love it with a chocolate drink, some with a fizzy drink! Have a look around, and you might just find that perfect drink to go along with your perfect food! Often, the pair come from different parts of the Valentian world!

Pets and Animals
Contrary to what people think, we are not all cat persons, nor do we hate other animals! And that is okay if you are not a cat person! There are many other furry friends around - dogs, hamsters, rabbits, and even the non-furry ones like snakes, parrots, and crocodiles! You can even befriend the entire zoo if you want to, and mind you, that was not an insult! Our animals in Valentine Z are friendly too! Just try not to agitate them too much, of course. ^^;

Oh yes, safety! Of course! Being a place built on friendliness, happiness, inclusiveness, peace, and many others, I definitely am prideful of our country, and is deemed a very, very safe place! However, low crime does not mean no crime, and there is a 1 out of 10000 chance that someone might have been robbed. I am sorry for the bearer of bad news, but even with our welfare programs, free education, free healthcare, and many more, suffice to say that a few of us are still up for a life of crime. The rules apply to the entire regions under Valentine Z, though Alanis Star, Voorzichtigheid, Victoriaans Nederlands, and Vostrov have their own set of smaller rules!

Here are a list of not-to-do, and please note that this is NOT exhaustive!

  • Do not drink and drive. When your blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.07% or higher, you're considered legally impaired and thus are unfit to drive. Drivers who are considered legally impaired will be imposed a fine of NSD 5,000 (multiplied by 5 for next penalty). This includes drugs and narcotics as well. We have quite an anti-drugs stance, though not until putting someone on a death penalty.

  • Despite the many peaceful ways of Valentine Z, guns and weapons are more or less allowed to a degree for an upstanding citizen. In fact, guns are quite a topic in Valentine Z, and a favorite pasttime! If a Valentian is of perfect health, have no criminal records, and among other things, they can legally own a gun. Still, even with the relaxed gun laws, only 1 out of 500 Valentians have a weapon, and it is mostly the police or the military. We absolutely do not believe in violence!

  • No speech (be it through advertisements, posters, or any other medium) that denounces or is discriminatory towards a race. We are a nation proud of our tolerance and acceptance of everyone regardless of race, language, or religion! It would really be a shame if someone were to do this on our place.

  • Even with our tolerant nature, we have no choice but to ban a few elements, and again, note that this isn't exhaustive. Things absolutely not allowed in Valentine Z: Support and Advocation for Nazism, KKK, Eugenics, Scientology, Fascism. Valentine Z is NOT a place to spread hatred.

  • No cruelty to animals or other persons. I am absolutely serious about this.

  • We have no death penalty or corporal punishment. I would like to welcome everyone and the visitors that we are not into torment, and would like to provide you all with a safe place to have some fun in. The worst we will do is a stern talking to, along with a fine, which we will then use for further development of our nation!

And now, important numbers! Click here to print them out as a single sheet of paper (default A4).

  • *#9999-Extension - Emergency phone numbers of Valentian Fire Department, Ambulance, and Police.
