The Absolute monarchy of Litalia Vala is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by King Umberto IV with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.704 billion Litalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Regium-Valentia. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Litalia Valan economy, worth 978 trillion Florenzis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,046 Florenzis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, and the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Litalia Vala's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Litalia Vala is ranked 232,886^th in the world and 1,200^th in Europe for Most Extreme, scoring 12.22 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
