The District of Val Belair is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liard with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, complete lack of public education, and absence of drug laws. The quiet, industrious population of 41.345 billion Val Belairians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 17.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Val Belairian economy, worth a remarkable 1,044 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,259 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Val Belair has designated District City as its capital city, Liard has just been declared ruler of Val Belair in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Val Belair's national religion, and thrift shops are closing their doors. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Val Belair's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Val Belair is ranked 275,319^th in the world and 1^st in Val Belair for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -6.32 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
