The Republic of Valce is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 295 million Valcedas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valce city. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Valcean economy, worth 18.2 trillion Real valcedas a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,568 Real valcedas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One of the nation's leading exports is empty platitudes, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Valce, and lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valce's national animal is the Grifo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Valce is ranked 267,096^th in the world and 2^nd in Neo Europe for Most Patriotic, with 0.89 flags saluted per person per day.
