The Money of Stal Valley is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ultimate evil money leader XVII with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, disturbing lack of elderly people, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.713 billion Stal Vallains are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Spirituality, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Education receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Money. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Stal Valleyian economy, worth 586 trillion Monies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 216,280 Monies, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,315,380 per year while the poor average 15,781, a ratio of 83.3 to 1.

The government struggles to keep up with the endless list of petrol disasters, most people think algebra is something a mermaid wears, ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain, and Ultimate evil money leader XVII's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Stal Valley's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Stal Valley is ranked 291,296^th in the world and 6,363^rd in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 2.48 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
