The Republic of Valenn is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 250 million Valennians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 29.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Valennian economy, worth 11.1 trillion Sols 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 Retail industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 44,276 Sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valenn's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Valenn is ranked 131,895^th in the world and 138^th in Benigtopia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
