The Kingdom of Valegurn is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by King Alfred III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.406 billion Valegurnians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragonhelm. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Valegurnian economy, worth 150 trillion Sovereigns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 106,510 Sovereigns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them, the government is paving paradises to put up parking lots, defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valegurn's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valegurn is ranked 214,683^rd in the world and 117^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.36 percentage of bribes refused.
