The Holy Empire of Valerite is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Sir Arnold the Second with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, soft-spoken computers, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.502 billion Valeriteans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Valerite. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valeritean economy, worth 795 trillion Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 176,722 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Concerned environmentalists wipe away their tears with tissues sourced from Tasmanian old-growth redwoods, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Sir Arnold the Second, visiting the best Valeritean restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, and it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valerite's national animal is the Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Arnoldism.

Valerite is ranked 156,043rd in the world and 28th in Kerbals of the North for Most Stationary, with 140.34093795952 days.
