The Grant of Valtistrada

“Ut prosint omnibus conjuncti”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Grant of Valtistrada is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sigfrido Cracchiolo with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 22.065 billion Valtistradans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reggia di Strada. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.5%.

The very strong Valtistradan economy, worth a remarkable 1,151 trillion livroes a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 52,198 livroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 159,454 per year while the poor average 13,244, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Voting is compulsory, Valtistrada has designated Reggia di Strada as its capital city, Sigfrido Cracchiolo has just been declared ruler of Valtistrada in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Valtistrada's national religion. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Valtistrada's national animal is the sweetfish and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Valtistrada is ranked 241,307^th in the world and 84^th in Grant for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
