The Community of Valonnia is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.369 billion Valonnians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Defense receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Valonnian economy, worth 169 trillion Florians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 124,025 Florians, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Chess players with pacemakers and cochlear implants are treated with suspicion, AI management double books government press conferences, the parliament building has installed a revolving door, and weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Valonnia's national animal is the Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Valonnia is ranked 17,045th in the world and 4th in Organization of Mediterranean States for Most Developed, scoring 87.66 on the Human Development Index.
