Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federal Republic of Vallholm is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 701 million Vallholmians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Azval. The average income tax rate is 19.7%.

The powerhouse Vallholmian economy, worth 69.0 trillion Valls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 98,427 Valls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Millions of Vallholmians are excellent swimmers, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, and even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vallholm's national animal is the Iguana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vallholm is ranked 40,533^rd in the world and 916^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 175.95 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
