The Kingdom of Valmorath is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by King Xander Varradon with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, disturbing lack of elderly people, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.488 billion Valmorathians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valmor City. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Valmorathian economy, worth 242 trillion Valmors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,375 Valmors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, and school football matches are usually five-a-side. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valmorath's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.
Valmorath is ranked 191,126th in the world and 21st in The Empire of Walbard for Largest Populations, with 2.49 billion capita.
