The Province of Valentinois is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lambert-Florestan de Valentinois with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.111 billion Valentinois are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The medium-sized, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Law & Order, Defense, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.8%.
The very strong Valentinois economy, worth a remarkable 1,012 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 47,978 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 146,565 per year while the poor average 12,173, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
The government is seen to favor Catholics, Valentinois has designated Valence as its capital city, Lambert-Florestan de Valentinois has just been declared ruler of Valentinois in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Valentinois's national religion. Crime is a problem. Valentinois's national animal is the lion and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.
Valentinois is ranked 249,902nd in the world and 22nd in Aquitaine for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
