The People's Republic of Valanglory is a large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 190 million Valangloryians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 63.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Valangloryian economy, worth 5.92 trillion Arpals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 31,145 Arpals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valanglory's national animal is the Glorian Ape, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valanglory is ranked 31,087^th in the world and 157^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 108.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
