The Sovereign Republic of Valtamaria is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Lord Protector with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 10.588 billion Valtamarians 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 minute government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, with Defense, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastião. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Valtamarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,424 trillion Dollarydoos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 228,939 Dollarydoos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Valtamarians any less frightened, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading Valtamarian justice, and passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Valtamaria's national animal is the Swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Valtamaria is ranked 1,715^th in the world and 1^st in Anarcho Land for Least Corrupt Governments, with 96.48 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
