The Empire of Valcouria is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Constantine I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 25.743 billion Valcourians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bainbridge. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Valcourian economy, worth an astonishing 10,351 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 402,126 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government debts are financed through alchemy, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, and fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valcouria's national animal is the White-tailed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Valcouria is ranked 6,314^th in the world and 8^th in Anteria for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,845.57 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
