The Corporate Conglomerate of Valerox is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hunteth Veredon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, flagrant waste-dumping, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.577 billion Valeroxians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silith. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Valeroxian economy, worth a remarkable 7,558 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 406,853 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, and pet owners want to know why their animals keep smiling at them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Valerox's national animal is the Consumer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Manifest Corporatism.

Valerox is ranked 288,205th in the world and 236th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Highest Food Quality, scoring 2.29 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
