The Holy Money of Stal Valley is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Ultimate evil money leader XVII with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and cultivated feral children. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 7.824 billion Stal Vallains are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Education receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Money. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Stal Valleyian economy, worth a remarkable 3,375 trillion Monies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 431,379 Monies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,580,558 per year while the poor average 10,444, a ratio of 342 to 1.

The government is a law unto itself, the song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in Stal Valley' is a smash hit, boot polish is the favourite lip gloss of entry-level corporate workers, and school lockers are filled with fancy underwear. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Stal Valley's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Stal Valley is ranked 992^nd in the world and 24^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 431,379.64 Standard Monetary Units.
