The Constitutional Monarchy of Valendrose is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Archon Julius Aquilla with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.988 billion Valendroseans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valia. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valendrosean economy, worth a remarkable 1,677 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 336,276 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, protestors are soaking piles of marks in blood to make a point about government incomes, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, and Archon Julius Aquilla can't hear a thing when the unwashed masses throw rocks at the new state limousine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valendrose's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Valendrose is ranked 298,482nd in the world and 307th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -252.19 on the Hayek Index.
