The Borderlands of First Valuan Fleet is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.746 billion Valuan marines are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The very strong First Valuan Fleetian economy, worth 200 trillion florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 72,904 florins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,980 per year while the poor average 17,772, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. First Valuan Fleet's national animal is the Bull, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

First Valuan Fleet is ranked 290,257^th in the world and 6^th in Valua for Smartest Citizens, with 13.11 quips per hour.
