The Federal Republic of Valemora is a massive, genial nation, ruled by the Chief Emric Lucien Caelmont with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.276 billion Valemorans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurivienne. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valemoran economy, worth 148 trillion ℳ minats a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,761 ℳ minats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, and there is something rotten in the state of Valemora. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valemora's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnostic Pluralism.

Valemora is ranked 231,293^rd in the world and 1,441^st in the South Pacific for Largest Populations, with 1.28 billion capita.
