The Theocracy of Valeo Quo is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Robert Frost with an even hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, museums and concert halls, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.748 billion Valeo Quoans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iceburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Valeo Quoan economy, worth 677 trillion Icicles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,378 Icicles, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, cloning has been banned, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valeo Quo's national animal is the Snow Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cryotherapy.
Valeo Quo is ranked 135,898th in the world and 1,940th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
