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

The Watchfires of Uncle Val is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 23.734 billion Uncle Valians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Uncle Valian economy, worth a remarkable 2,583 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,843 $$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, Leader has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, and private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Uncle Val's national animal is the ^-^, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Uncle Val is ranked 38,057^th in the world and 1^st in Conquered and Liberated Regions of UNAF for Most Beautiful Environments, with 760.27 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
