The Federal Republic of Valemora is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emric Lucien Caelmont with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 970 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 Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurivienne. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valemoran economy, worth 108 trillion ℳ minats a year, is quite specialized and 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 111,485 ℳ minats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, sections of the police receive paramilitary training, and reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors. 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 31,176^th in the world and 462^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 26.5 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
