The Venusian Free Settlement of Valehart is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Councilor Kase-Zheng Qiu-Roberts with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 10.094 billion Valehartines enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Concord District. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Valehartine economy, worth a remarkable 1,736 trillion Venusian-Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 172,075 Venusian-Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, several inches are being added to first class seating, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, and fine dining is just too fine for most of the populace. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Valehart's national animal is the Red-Crowned Crane, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Valehart is ranked 142,995th in the world and 8th in Greater Temecula for Most Stationary, with 191.33142615892 days.
