“El Riesgo Siempre Vive”

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

The Kingdom of Valverde is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Carlos V de Barca with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.761 billion Valverdeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pizarro. The average income tax rate is 17.1%.

The Valverdean economy, worth 390 trillion sols a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 44,599 sols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes, a five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Valverde as a reminder of their "special relationship", and the media have begun calling the government treasury "King Carlos V de Barca's stash". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Valverde's national animal is the jaguar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Valverde is ranked 187,280^th in the world and 8^th in Mexico for Highest Poor Incomes, with 21,708.13 Standard Monetary Units.
