The Kingdom of Valaine is a mammoth, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning squirrel population. The hard-working population of 5.134 billion Valaniens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.9%.
The Valainean economy, worth 223 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 43,623 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valaine's national animal is the squirrel.
Valaine is ranked 293,919th in the world and 12th in Arkonos for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -40 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
