The Holy House of Valfor is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.628 billion Valforians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Austin. The average income tax rate is 53.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valforian economy, worth a remarkable 1,527 trillion Valfors a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 62,031 Valfors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, court cases mostly involve lawyers shouting questions at witnesses giving silent shrugs, and constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem. Valfor's national animal is the Turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Freedom.

Valfor is ranked 34,190^th in the world and 35^th in Kantrias for Highest Food Quality, scoring 52.66 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
