The Federal Republic of Valemora is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Emric Lucien Caelmont with a fair hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 855 million Valemorans 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurivienne. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valemoran economy, worth 97.3 trillion ℳ minats a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,775 ℳ minats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Emric Lucien Caelmont's online image is the very model of a modern major leader, the Aurivienne Women's Prison Choir now has a baritone section, the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", and former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valemora's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Valemora is ranked 18,111^th in the world and 336^th in the South Pacific for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 22,837.3 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
