The State of De Valdivia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 40.718 billion De Valdivians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dominion Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The very strong De Valdivian economy, worth a remarkable 1,417 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 34,808 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 236,652 per year while the poor average 1,870, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, euthanasia is legal, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, and De Valdivia has designated Dominion Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. De Valdivia's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

De Valdivia is ranked 276,105^th in the world and 1^st in De Valdivia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -3.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
