The Kingdom of Valhardt is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 145 million Valhardtians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 35.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Valhardtian economy, worth 9.18 trillion Valmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,331 Valmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, and new drivers are driving the nation into a budget hole. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valhardt's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Valhardt is ranked 99,873^rd in the world and 34^th in kingdom of Greater Esteriae for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,007.77 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
