The Principality of ValleyOfTheWind is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Nausica with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, compulsory vegetarianism, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 24.728 billion valley dwellers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Village City. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped ValleyOfTheWindian economy, worth 781 trillion rices a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,584 rices, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Illegal hunting is rife after veganism was recently made compulsory, Nausica is the self-declared God of all ValleyOfTheWind, the police force is rumoured to be made up of evil shadows with no souls, and Nausica has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ValleyOfTheWind's national animal is the Ohm and its national religion is religiousness.

ValleyOfTheWind is ranked 81,233^rd in the world and 1^st in Midgard for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 55.21 Effective Tax Rate.
