The Pirate Haven of Vagabond Valley is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Captain Flash Dove with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.959 billion Vagabonds hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ledatic. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Vagabond economy, worth 864 trillion Gold Coins a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,628 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, and aspiring authors begrudgingly help proofread issue submissions (Vagabond Valley has found 2 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vagabond Valley's national animal is the grizzly bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Vagabond Valley is ranked 62,019^th in the world and 2,569^th in The North Pacific for Rudest Citizens, with 64.45 Insults Per Minute.
