The Syndicate of Valoryx is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Johntavionquavious D Williams V with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.266 billion Valoryxians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solis. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valoryxian economy, worth 145 trillion Aurelions a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 114,941 Aurelions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Department of Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape has set up a working committee to investigate its own excessive paperwork, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Valoryx, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valoryx's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Valoryx is ranked 16,227^th in the world and 74^th in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 87.91 on the Human Development Index.
