The Republic of Valoworand is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 737 million Valoworandians 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 relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.2%.
The strong Valoworandian economy, worth 55.6 trillion Puond Stirlengs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 75,423 Puond Stirlengs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 231,815 per year while the poor average 18,970, a ratio of 12.2 to 1.

Valoworand's national animal is the Pengiun, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
