The Principality of Valastiria is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Eleonora with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.048 billion Valastirians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varuna. The average income tax rate is 59.2%.
The powerhouse Valastirian economy, worth 208 trillion Bans a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 101,703 Bans, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
It's rumored that Marche Noire knows what the nation's generals eat for breakfast, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, it is often said that only Queen Eleonora could bring down Dàguó, and 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valastiria's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Valastiria is ranked 224,439th in the world and 16th in Alvion for Most Avoided, scoring 1.45 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
