“Never retreat.Fight and die,that's the Vaelkharian way.”

The Hive World of Vaelkhar is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Planetary Governor Lorien Helarion with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 29.611 billion Vaelkharians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hive Faragos. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Vaelkharian economy, worth a remarkable 6,721 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 226,983 Imperial Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, sports club owners are having a moneyball, the government is encouraging people to go on citric acid trips, and it is said that a Vaelkharian woman's work is never done. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Vaelkhar's national animal is the Great Forest Lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Imperial Truth.

Vaelkhar is ranked 295,107^th in the world and 12^th in Warhammer 40000 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 3.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
