The Commonwealth of Valsora of Terrabis-Seran is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Seraphim Wilks with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.803 billion Valsorans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Torress. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Valsoran economy, worth a remarkable 2,353 trillion Consortieors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 170,519 Consortieors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Terrabis-Seran's border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terrabis-Seran's national animal is the Monkey Lizard Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Terrabis-Seran is ranked 78,281^st in the world and 1,326^th in The East Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,825.66 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
