The Commonwealth of Valhelmry is a huge, genial nation, notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 681 million Valhelmryians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Welfare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valhelmry City. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Valhelmryian economy, worth 36.8 trillion Valhelmrian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,070 Valhelmrian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government-sponsored autobiography 'A Leader For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Leader's supporters, proletariat workers identify less with the hammer and sickle and more with the touchscreen and phone charger, panicking criminals no longer flush contraband down the toilet, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valhelmry's national animal is the Aquila Chrysaetos, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valhelmry is ranked 18,438^th in the world and 85^th in The Frontier Sea for Safest, scoring 114.19 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
