The Principality of Valvert is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 336 million Valvertians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Defense, and Welfare also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.0%.

The powerhouse Valvertian economy, worth 33.5 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 99,727 lire, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 405,169 per year while the poor average 16,318, a ratio of 24.8 to 1.

A bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, lines of trenches demarcate the nation's borders, and getting an abortion takes less hassle than writing a letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Valvert's national animal is the red fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Valvert is ranked 45,840^th in the world and 449^th in Europe for Nicest Citizens, with 18.02 average smiles per day.
